The Spirit that Soars (e-book) (used book) | Ruth Skeens | bookbook.eu

Description

In the United States, as in many countries, we're a culture that supports and values intellectual quotient (IQ) development in our educational systems. However, we neglect the emotional quotient (EQ) as it's not mainstream in our schools unless a person chooses to study the field of psychology. Emotions can play havoc in our personal and professional lives in times of change if we don't develop our emotional intelligence. Dr. W. Edwards Deming said, "It's not mandatory to change. Survival is not mandatory."

With all that the world faces today, the pandemic, racial tensions, frequent hurricanes, and forest fires have challenged humanity in ways unprecedented. Our moral compasses don't always point true north due to this myriad of disruptions. Our emotions, especially fear and anger, can derail a person, or groups of people quickly. We're being challenged to navigate life in new ways, which requires us to move to higher levels of consciousness, or being awake and more aware of one's surroundings.

The Spirit That Soars! contains a multitude of pathways that a person may choose to follow in "waking up" to life. This book is a compilation of true stories, experiences, and conversations. The tools and exercises have been tried and tested and found to be true to their intent; some are designed for personal use and others for groups of people. The big D of diversity is the basis of this work and relates to all cultures, ethnic backgrounds, gender, age, religious beliefs, economic levels, and education. It's time to awaken.
