Practising Spiritual intelligence

Spiritual Intelligence refers to the intuitive knowledge of the self, others, situations and techniques to achieve the desired objectives. Hence it can be called the soul of all intelligences.

Spiritual Intelligence enhances our power to inspire others by transforming their souls in such a way that their desires and aspirations are aligned in a single direction. Soul is beyond all reason and intellect. It is, in fact, the source of mind and intellect.

Awdhesh Singh explains this body-soul continuum and suggests practical steps to evolve through the body-senses-mind-intellect to reach our soul.

Through the steps and suggestions offered in the book, you find ways to bring your mind, body and soul together in perfect harmony. Peppered with humorous anecdotes, this books analyses and effectively assists personality development. Your spiritual quest is made easy and lucid, not just to read, but also practice.

The Art of Thinking Clearly

Have you ever... Invested time in something that, with hindsight, just wasn’t worth it? Overpayed in an E-bay auction? Continued doing something you knew was bad for you? Sold stocks too late, or too early? Taken credit for success, but blamed failure on external circumstances? Backed the wrong horse?

These are examples of cognitive biases, simple errors, that we make in our day-to-day thinking. But by knowing what they are and how to spot them, we can avoid them and make better choices, whether dealing with a personal problem or a business negotiation; trying to save money or make money; working out what we do or don't want in life, and how best to get it.

It reveals, in 100 short chapters, the most common errors of judgement, and how to avoid them. Simple, clear and always surprising, this indispensable book will change the way you think and transform your decision-making, at work, at home, every day.
