Integral Emotional Intelligence : Keys to Creating an Extraordinary Life

Just as humans need to acquire reading literacy, so too must we make the effort to become emotionally literate-it is a knowledge base that is necessary for navigating life with ease, success, and joy.

The purpose of this book is to empower you to gain greater self-mastery, practice the art of everyday transformation, and consistently live from your best, most authentic self.

Self-empowerment is the basic operating principle that informs this work of inner emancipation and is the criterion against which all theory and practices are measured. The material in this book is understandable, accessible, and, above all, practical. It is clearly presented and takes you one step at a time through the process of developing greater self-awareness and building a more powerful foundation for your life.

Integral Emotional Intelligence is an owner's manual for being human and a reference guide for how to live a happier, more fulfilling life. It contains distinctions that illuminate what makes each of us think and act the way we do and offers practical steps for gaining self-mastery. This holistic approach to personal development encompasses all four domains of human expression and how they interact: mind, body, emotions, and spirit or consciousness.

Developing integral emotional intelligence is a process of gaining techniques and tools that empower you to reveal more of who you truly are inside and express the qualities of your best self in your daily life. This means cultivating your sense of equilibrium and magnanimity, such that you are able to operate more and more from your personal highest ground.

A major focus of this book is creating internal freedom and becoming emancipated from unconscious blockages or barriers that are holding you back. This ongoing process of integration is one that will move you toward happier, healthier, more joyful states.
