Book description
At the beginning of the twentieth century psychologists discovered ways
and means to measure intelligence that developed into an obsession with
IQ. In the mid 1990's, Daniel Goleman popularised research into
emotional intelligence, EQ, pointing out that EQ is a basic requirement
for the appropriate use of IQ. In this century, there is enough
collective evidence from psychology, neurology, anthropology and
cognitive science to show us that there is a third Q', SQ' or Spiritual
Intelligence. SQ is uniquely human and, the authors argue, the most
fundamental intelligence. SQ is what we use to develop our longing and
capacity for meaning, vision and value. It allows us to dream and to
strive. It underlies the things we believe in, and the role our beliefs
and values play in the actions that we take and the way we shape our
lives. 'An interesting read and will be a useful resource in terms of
quotes, historic sources and the ability to make a quick check on your
own SQ' PEOPLE MANAGEMENT At the beginning of the twentieth century
