The Californer/10302720

PETALUMA, Calif. - Californer -- In the late twentieth century, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) emerged as a groundbreaking concept, shaping how we navigate relationships and develop self-awareness. Now, award-winning author and scientist Dawson Church, PhD, presents the next vital evolution in human potential with his new book, Spiritual Intelligence (SQ). Drawing on over 400 studies, Church reveals that developing SQ isn't just a path for personal growth: it's a science-based roadmap to a more hopeful and connected global future.

While EQ improved how we relate to ourselves and others, Spiritual Intelligence offers tools to help humanity thrive at the even deeper level of brain function. According to Church, SQ is the missing piece in addressing global challenges like climate change, social inequality, and polarization. By tapping into SQ, individuals can access the "Enlightenment Network" within the brain—a neural pathway that, when activated, fosters qualities such as compassion, resilience, and unity. In Spiritual Intelligence, Church shows that engaging these neural circuits allows us to achieve states once considered exclusive to spiritual mystics, now scientifically validated as reachable by anyone.

Spiritual Intelligence provides readers with practical exercises and guided reflections that allow them to unlock their brain's highest potential and build a foundation for personal and societal evolution. Research included in the book demonstrates that individuals who engage in these SQ practices experience greater mental clarity, emotional stability, and improved interpersonal relationships. The book also highlights how fostering SQ contributes to a broader societal shift, aligning with global values of peace, cooperation, and shared purpose.

Church's work is anchored in a compelling body of research, showing that individuals who develop SQ contribute to more cohesive, peaceful, and compassionate communities. "We're at a crucial juncture," says Church. "The twenty-first century requires not just EQ, but SQ if we are to thrive. Through understanding and activating our spiritual intelligence, we not only evolve individually but collectively as a human species, creating a far brighter and more hopeful future than we might otherwise imagine."
