Book Review – Spiritual Intelligence – The Ultimate Intelligence – Danah Zohar and Ian Marshall

Spiritual intelligence is sadly often overlooked in coaching and development. It is related to that part of the brain which allows us to hope and dream and visualise and to connect us to our purpose in life. It is the trigger in our intelligence which entices us to seek meaning and a greater good by differentiating between good and evil.

The book highlights the quest for spiritual intelligence in addressing issues of meaning and value in our life along with our ability to dream and to inspire. It outlines a much richer context for our existence and for some, life’s purpose.

The book has something for everyone: those with a religious persuasion, those without, theorists and those fascinated with how the brain works. There is detailed information on the brain’s 3rd neural system and the “God spot” which appears to have been placed in all human beings to allow our own spiritual development and search for meaning.

It makes some interesting comparisons about the beginning of the earth making comparisons with how it is described by the following groups: Judeo- Christian/Esoteric, science and Ancient Greek, Taoist, Hindu and Buddhists.

Comparisons are also made in respect of personality between Holland’s occupational tests, Eastern religions and Greek mythology- fascinating stuff.

The close of the book outlines how you can develop your spiritual intelligence, grow as a person and prevent yourself from becoming spiritually stunted; described in the book as a cause of many illnesses and addictions.

I’d recommend this book for those who seek to understand what else makes us tick as human beings.
