POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE: Why Only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve Their True Potential

by Shirzad Chamine

Only 20% of individuals and teams achieve their true potential due to self-sabotaging mental patterns. In this book, Shirzad Chamine presents the Positive Intelligence Quotient (PQ) framework to build mental fitness, and shift the brain from self-sabotage to calm, creative problem-solving.

In this summary, you'll learn:

• What is Positive Intelligence, how the Saboteur and Sage brain systems compete for control, and why PQ = 75 is the tipping point between a positive and negative spiral.
• How to build mental fitness using 3 reinforcing strategies: identify and weaken your strongest Saboteurs (out of 10 common types), activate the Sage's 5 powers (Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, Activate), and build lasting mental fitness through daily PQ reps.
• How to apply the PQ model at work, in relationships, and life (e.g. team performance, selling, managing difficult people, complex decisions)

Who should read this:

• Professionals and leaders whose success comes at the cost of stress, emotional distance, or constant self-doubt.
• Coaches, parents, leaders, and individuals who want to build mental resilience themselves and others.
