Spiritual Intelligence: A New Way Of Being

New
Paperback

$12.69

Aocording to the philosopher Danah Zohar (who coined the idea of spiritual intelligence), we live in a 'spiritually dumb' culture, alienated from each other, too busy to take time to reflect, and trying desperately to juggle the myriad pulls and pushes of life without cracking up. How can we find meaning from meaninglessness, hope from despair, reconciliation from alienation and wholeness from fragmentation? In this book, Brian Draper asks how ordinary people, whether religious or not, can nudge themselves (or be gently nudged) to live on a daily basis with increasing integrity, wholeness and well-being - to become more spiritually intelligent. The book is split into 4 main sections: 'awakening', 'seeing your world afresh', 'living the change' and 'passing it on'. The narrative style is contemplative, reflective and engaging.

Media Reviews

Truly inspiring. A modern equivalent to Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Illytch--a wake up call for us all. --Oliver James, psychologist and author, They F*** You Up
Inspiring. --Douglas Coupland, author, All Families are Psychotic
It is a work of art to make a book of this nature so accessible and so understandable . . . Brian uses metaphors from many spiritual teachings and draws often on Christianity but in so doing provides such everyday examples to clarify and illustrate their deeper meanings. --Sir John Whitmore, author, Coaching for Performance
A gem: packed full of practical suggestions which readers will find hard to ignore and written in a down-to-earth style. --Bookseller
