The 7 Steps of Spiritual Intelligence: The Practical Pursuit of Purpose, Success and Happiness

Description
Are you looking for a deeper understanding of the larger context of life? Would you like to create a sense of warmth, supportiveness and a positive atmosphere at your workplace? How about enriching your understanding of self and creating a life of purpose?

With Richard A. Bowell's The 7 Steps of Spiritual Intelligence, you will learn about developing your inner potential and spiritual intelligence. Discover the "why" of what we do rather than the "what" or "how."

Our fixed intelligence (IQ) doesn't always answer life's questions and our Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is limited to examining and processing our inner beliefs and passions. Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) is the key to engaging fully and with meaning in all realms of life, at home, work and in the world.

In Bowell's The 7 Steps of Spiritual Intelligence, each of the steps on this journey is explained through the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience, detailed life lessons from exceptional individuals like Oskar Schindler, Nelson Mandela, Ghandi and Mother Teresa, and with specially developed SQ exercises. Exploring Awareness, Meaning and Evaluation will help you to Become Centered in your true self. Then project your SQ outward. Use Vision to take an overview of your situation, act with Precision and finally come to understand your personal Mission.

With a coherent philosophy, a powerful new model and detailed examples from daily life, Bowell puts the SQ path easily within the grasp of everyone reaching for personal growth and leadership, effectiveness and wisdom. Bowell has written the first accessible self-help guide to understanding the exciting field of Spiritual Intelligence.

Spiritual issues are at the forefront of modern twenty-first century life. In this precarious world, we are seeking emotional stability. Many people are wanting to develop their spiritual side, rather than just acquiring more possessions and money. Provocative, groundbreaking and inspiring, The 7 Steps of Spiritual Intelligence argues that we can have it all: be successful, happy and have an enriched sense of meaning in our lives.

Review

Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life: A Kick-Butt Approach to a Better Life

Description
Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life

This is not your typical self-help book. You won't find any motivational platitudes or cute business parables here. This is more of a "get off your butt and get to work" approach that can help you achieve more success, make more money, improve your business, and have more fun.

Larry Winget doesn't pull any punches here. He believes that business gets better when businesspeople get better through personal growth. And it works the same way in your personal life-husbands and wives improve each other when they improve themselves, and kids improve when their parents do. In other words, everything in life gets better when you get better, and nothing gets better until you get better.

This book can make you better, but it will probably tick you off. Winget is direct, caustic, and controversial. You won't like or agree with everything he has to say. Yet his advice is full of wisdom and truth that can't easily be argued with.

Words from Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life that prove that this book is anything but typical:"If you don't have much going wrong in your life, then you don't have much going on in your life."
"When you work, work! When you play, play! Don't mix the two."
"What you think about, talk about, and do something about is what comes about."
"When it quits being fun-quit."
"Time management is a joke."
And that's just the beginning!

Power Talk: Using Language to Build Authority and Influence

Description
Complete with strategies for individuals who want to strengthen their personal communication skills, "Power Talk" is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn to be their own best spokesperson.

At last week's meeting, who got heard? Was it you? If not, you need to listen to this program. The most important book on language since Deborah Tannen's You Just Don't Understand, Power Talk uses the reality of today's business world to show how each of us becomes captive to the way we talk, and why all of us need a little linguistic cross training. From sounding like an expert to generating new ideas, from the power of control to the force of original thinking,

this innovative guide shows you how to:

* Listen to yourself and hear how you come across to other people.
* Find the right speech style for any workplace situation.
* Practice new verbal patterns before you use them.
* Use voice mail and e-mail to your advantage.
* Always be heard - even among a crowd.

From Library Journal
McGinty taught the politics of language at Harvard and does workshops and seminars nationwide as head of McGinty Consulting. Her book focuses on workplace communications. She looks at both listening and talking and teaches readers how to use language skills to advance in the business world. She covers e-mail, voice mail, meetings, and up and down communications, and she also considers changing styles as people move up the corporate ladder. Offering lots of lists and examples, her book is easy and fun to read. Salamensky earned her Ph.D. at Harvard and is currently an assistant professor of English at SUNY. Her book brings together a wide range of writers from such areas as communications and cultural criticism to look at the concept of talk. What it means to talk, how we define ourselves though our language skills, what makes talk funny (comedy), and cultural differences in communication are some of the many topics considered. The book is organized in chapters, some of them essays by single authors and others conversations between two experts. The information on each contributor in the note section would have been nice at the chapter heads. This book is more technical than McGinty's, but both books have extensive bibliographies and notes ("gossip" in the case of Talk Talk Talk). Power Talk will be popular in public library business collections, while Talk Talk Talk belongs in university libraries and larger public libraries. Lisa J. Cihlar, Monroe P.L., WI
