Danah Zohar

The Quantum Self

Ian Marshall

Quantum theorist Erwin Schrvdinger invented his now-famous cat to illustrate the apparently impossible conundrums associated with quantum physics. The cat lives in an opaque box with a fiendish device that randomly feeds it either food, allowing it to live, or poison, which kills it. But in the quantum world, all possibilities coexist and have a reality of their own, and they ensure that the cat is both alive and dead, simultaneously. Who's Afraid of Schrvdinger's Cat? is a clear, concise explanation of the new sciences of quantum mechanics, chaos and complexity theory, relativity, new theories of mind, and the new cosmology. It studies worlds beyond the realm of common sense, and the new kinds of thinking that we need to understand ourselves, our minds, and our human place in the larger scheme of things.

All The New Science Ideas You Need To Keep Up With The New Thinking

Who's Afraid of Schrodinger's Cat

Quantum Society

At the beginning of the twentieth century psychologists discovered ways and means to measure intelligence that developed into an obsession with IQ. In the mid 1990's, Daniel Goleman popularised research into emotional intelligence, EQ, pointing out that EQ is a basic requirement for the appropriate use of IQ. In this century, there is enough collective evidence from psychology, neurology, anthropology and cognitive science to show us that there is a third 'Q', 'SQ' or Spiritual Intelligence. SQ is uniquely human and, the authors argue, the most fundamental intelligence. SQ is what we use to develop our longing and capacity for meaning, vision and value. It allows us to dream and to strive. It underlies the things we believe in, and the role our beliefs and values play in the actions that we take and the way we shape our lives.

The Ultimate Intelligence

Spiritual Intelligence

Drawing inspiration from quantum physics, innovative management thinker Danah Zohar offers a powerful new model for business thinking and practice. "Quantum leaders," she says, like the systems they have to manage, are poised at "the edge of chaos." They thrive on the potential latent in uncertainty and are adept at unleashing the creativity of self-organization. More important, they are vision- and value-led; they adapt quickly, are unafraid to play with the boundaries and reinvent the rules, and celebrate diversity. Zohar points out that the existing, business-as-usual paradigm owes a great deal to the outdated thinking, assumptions, and values of Newtonian science, which gave rise to the Industrial Revolution. Newtonian thinking assumes that corporations and markets are like machines--predictable, stable, and controllable; they are best managed in a way that eliminates risk and assures equilibrium. Unfortunately, as the global financial collapse of 2008 demonstrated, this way of thinking is as obsolete as the steam engine. Further developing ideas she introduced in her acclaimed Rewiring the Corporate Brain and Spiritual Capital, Zohar has written an inspirational book that will motivate leaders to tap the full potential of their employees, their businesses, and the customers they serve.

A Revolution in Business Thinking and Practice

The Quantum Leader

I. N. Marshall

Going beyond IQ and EQ, there is now growing collective evidence that there is a third "Q" or "SQ"--Spiritual Intelligence. This handbook explores how accessing SQ to help us to live up to our potential for better, more satisfying lives.

Connecting With Our Spiritual Intelligence

In The Quantum Self, Danah Zohar argues that the insights of modem physics can illuminate our understanding of everyday life -- our relationships to ourselves, to others, and to the world at large. Guiding us through the strange and fascinating workings of the subatomic realm to create a new model of human consciousness, the author addresses enduring philosophical questions. Does the new physics provide a basis by which our consciousness might continue beyond death? How does the material world (for instance, ugly inner cities) impinge upon our sense of self? Is there a subatomic wellspring from which our creativity, our empathy with others, and our feelings of unity with the inanimate world originate?Most important, Zohar shows how the vitality of the new physics combats the alienation and fragmentation of twentieth-century life, and replaces it with a model of reality in which the universe itself may possess a type of consciousness, of which human consciousness is one expression.

Describes the brain as a three-part system consisting of a mental, spiritual, and emotional section and shows how "rewiring" the thinking behind thinking can allow one's brain to function and operate more fully. 25,000 first printing. $50,000 ad/promo. Tour. IP.

Using the New Science to Rethink how We Structure and Lead Organizations

Rewiring the Corporate Brain

In their new book Danah Zohar and Ian Marshall envisage two scenarios. The first is business as we know it today - all short-term interest, short-term gain, isolationist thinking, with the material bottom line as king. The second envisages a business culture driven by fundamental values and a deep sense of purpose in which wealth is accumulated to generate a decent profit while acting to raise the common good. The emphasis is on 'stake-holder value', where stake-holders include the human race, present and future, and the planet itself. These are the values of Spiritual Capital. The crucial question, which Zohar and Marshall address, is: How we can move from one scenario to the other? They show how we need to consider three types of capital to make the leap. Rational Intelligence (IQ) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) are needed to diagnose the current state, and then the twelve qualities of Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) can be used to bring about the final transformation. The ultimate goal is sustainable capitalism within a framework of a more meaningful working life.

Spiritual Capital

Management in the Quantum Age

Zero Distance

The authors of SQ: Connecting with Our Spiritual Intelligence urges readers to look beyond greed to see "profit" as a resource that should be shared by a community, thereby redefining "capital" in a capitalistic society.

The author studied physics and philosophy at MIT and philosophy and religion at Harvard. This book began primarily as an exercise in metaphor but gave way to science-grounded speculation about the physics of human psychology and its moral and spiritual implications.

Human Nature and Consciousness Defined by the New Physics

Tes IQ mengukur kecerdasan rasional—kemampuan yang kita gunakan untuk memecahkan persoalan logis atau akademis. Selama berpuluh-puluh tahun, IQ dipandang sebagai ukuran terbaik atas kecerdasan dan potensial seseorang dalam meraih sukses. Tetapi pada awal 1990-an Daniel Goleman menunjukkan bahwa sukses juga bergantung pada kecerdasan emosi (EQ), yakni kemampuan dalam empati, bela rasa, dan memahami perasaan diri dan orang lain. Kini, pada akhir abad ke-20, Danah Zohar dan Ian Marshall mengklaim bahwa ada “Q” lain yang harus dipertimbangkan: SQ atau kecerdasan spiritual. Bahkan, Zohar menegaskan bahwa “SQ adalah landasan yang niscaya untuk membangun IQ dan EQ. SQ adalah kecerdasan tertinggi kita.” Komputer bisa jadi mempunyai IQ yang tinggi; binatang pun mungkin juga memiliki EQ yang kuat, tetapi hanya manusialah yang mempunyai SQ—kemampuan untuk bersikap kreatif, mengubah aturan, mengubah situasi, dan menangkap makna. Dengan referensi yang luas dan gaya bahasa yang enak dibaca, buku ini patut dijadikan sebagai rujukan standar seputar kecerdasan spiritual. [Mizan, Pustaka, Referensi, Islam]
