Mindful Intelligence helps you evolve as a human being, by giving you the superpower of knowing what you're up to (and why) at all times. Believe it or not, this doesn't happen by default! In the Introduction, meet Delores, the cantankerous lady who gave the author a hard time in the 90's, and whose lack of self-awareness inspired this book. With 52 topics and illustrative cartoons, learn how everyone can benefit from Mindful Intelligence in everyday life. This book has a companion app that goes deeper into each of the 52 topics, one a week for a year. Mindful Intelligence and the Making of You has one main goal: to convince you (with both mindful intelligence and humour) that you could know much more about your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. Each moment people have choices they aren't aware of if they're running the "self" on automatic pilot, or with a stressed-out mind. Old habits like unconscious fears, defenses, and judgments can be as limiting as a prison if you're not aware of how they affect choices and quality of life moment-by- moment. Many people's minds have stress, fear, and negativity taking up space where joy and contentment could be. Enter Mindful Intelligence. Learn to work with thoughts and emotions -in the moment- during everyday actions and reactions. Mindful practice helps you build a strong sense of self by encouraging you to create thoughts, feelings, and actions from the inside-out (proactive), instead of the outside-in (reactive). It reminds you to keep an eye on the medium your life is being filtered through: YOU. Ultimately, Mindful Intelligence helps you fully appreciate life, while noticing how the self interacts with and creates that life. Mindful Intelligence is for everyone from beginners to seasoned practitioners, and is built on 25 years of mindful practice, and the idea of making the world a more mindful place, one person at a time.
