About the book: It’s becoming very evident, given the ever-increasing emergence of books about the importance of mindset, habits, attitudes, emotional intelligence, leadership, that are making national best-seller lists, that many of us are wanting to have and enact more of our higher, even “spiritual,” potential (not "religious" as such, but spiritual in a more non-secular way) in business and living.  

To briefly clarify right away here what I mean by "spiritual," it's not about being more passive in business, spending all our time meditating, being really nice all the time, and the like. Actually, it’s not about avoiding conflict with others (nor within ourselves) and justifying doing so “because we’re spiritual." It’s also not about relegating responsibility and accountability to the nether worlds.

What it is about is being more aware and present to ourselves and others, opening into coming from more integrity in our thinking and actions, engaging the inevitable conflicts inherent in business more authentically, healthily, functionally, and developmentally.

The book is about making all this more accessible for us: better understanding human consciousness and how to better access and actualize that understanding.

It helps us understand how we get in our own way, how we can unduly complicate our developmental progress. The ideas advanced in the book go into much detail on the self-conflicting and self-inhibiting dynamic of wanting to 1) be a better person, but also how we 2) resist personal change at the same time. Something has to give.

To reemphasize a very important point, know that the book is not simply about becoming a “nicer person," avoiding conflict, shunning responsibilities, floating around in a daze, and other such self-absorbed notions of being spiritual. It’s not about making us more passive and withdrawn, making unhealthy compromises, avoiding responsibility, and repressing our voicing of what we see. It’s about more authentically engaging others in the workplace, facing what needs facing, enacting the notion that the best way out is through (it's not only much quicker, but ultimately less painful), pointing out the elephant(s) in the room, engaging conflict collaboratively instead of competitively or adversarially.

The book is oriented toward the business aspect of our lives. But, as much, it also applies to any interpersonal dynamics outside of business, including marriage, any relationship. It’s about learning to emerge transformational shifts of our paradigm—our presence, perspective, purpose, and performance—that will concurrently open us to greater capabilities, elevated advantages, and deeper well-being. It’s about the rigors and demands of business synergistically and integrally co-emerging with the qualities and dynamics of our higher nature, "both" co-occurring as more of a integrated seamless expression of our human/soul/higher self.

There are many immediately relatable reasons as to why you might know what’s in this book. To mention a couple, because you might be a competitive and growth-oriented professional wanting to play at the edge of your capabilities, at your evolving-advantedge, so you want leading-edge information and input on how to enact and maximize your growth. You might be an individual who isn't concerned only about competitive advantage as such, but someone who wants to develop advantages for yourself beyond where you operated from presently. Perhaps to see more clearly into yourself and interpersonal situations, have an increased capacity to be more authentic, to be more able to make sense of a seemingly fragmented life and world, to be more of your whole self, to discover deeper and richer intimacies; to have less unnecessary fear, less dread, less worry and other self-limiting feelings and emotions; to open into deeper wellbeing.
