In the mid-1990s, Daniel Goleman popularized\n                                research into emotional intelligence, EQ, pointing out that EQ is a basic\n                                requirement for the appropriate use of IQ. As we near the end of the twentieth\n                                century, there is enough collective evidence from psychology, neurology,\n                                anthropology and cognitive science to show us that there is a third ‘Q’, ‘SQ’, or\n                                Spiritual Intelligence.<br/><br/>\n                                Unlike IQ, which computers have, and EQ, which exists in higher mammals, SQ is\n                                uniquely human and, the authors argue, the most fundamental of the three. It is\n                                linked to humanity’s need for meaning, an issue very much at the forefront of\n                                people’s minds as the century draws to a close. SQ is what we use to develop our\n                                longing and capacity for meaning, vision and value. It allows us to dream and to\n                                strive. It underlies the things we believe in and the role our beliefs and values\n                                play in the actions that we take and the shape we give to our lives. This book goes\n                                on to explore the scientific evidence for SQ, shows how to test for SQ and how to\n                                improve and develop it.<br/><br/>","link_us":"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1582340447/","link_uk":"http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1582340447/","info":"Unlike IQ, which computers have, and EQ, which exists in higher mammals, SQ is uniquely human and, the authors argue, the most fundamental of the three.
