De: Shirzad Chamine

Narrado por: Shirzad Chamine

In his popular Stanford University lectures, Shirzad Chamine reveals how to achieve one's true potential for both professional success and personal fulfillment. His groundbreaking research exposes ten well-disguised mental Saboteurs. Nearly 95 percent of the executives in his Stanford lectures conclude that these Saboteurs cause "significant harm" to achieving their full potential. With Positive Intelligence, you can learn the secret to defeating these internal foes. Positive Intelligence (PQ) measures the percentage of time your mind is serving you as opposed to sabotaging you. While your IQ and EQ (emotional intelligence) contribute to your maximum potential, it is your PQ that determines how much of that potential you actually achieve. The great news is that you can improve your PQ significantly in as little as 21 days. With higher PQ, teams and professionals ranging from leaders to salespeople perform 30-35 percent better on average. Importantly, they also report being far happier and less stressed. The breakthrough tools and techniques in this book have been refined over years of coaching hundreds of CEOs and their executive teams. Shirzad tells many of their remarkable stories, showing you how you too can take concrete steps to unleash the vast, untapped powers of your mind.

Discover how to:

• Identify and conquer your top mental Saboteurs. Common Saboteurs include the Judge, Controller, Victim, Avoider, and Pleaser.
• Measure the Positive Intelligence score (PQ) for yourself or your team--see how close you come to the critical tipping point required for peak performance.
• Increase PQ dramatically in as little as 21 days.
• Develop new brain "muscles," and access 5 untapped powers with energizing mental "power games."
• Apply PQ tools and techniques to increase both performance and fulfillment.
• Applications include team building, mastering workload, working with "difficult" people, improving work/life balance, reducing stress, and selling and persuading.

Good Info - and all Audibles Need Chapter Titles

This was a good one - new insights and ways to frame limiting behaviors. I'd recommend, especially when used as a companion to the resources on Chamine's website.

One general request I have of Audible is to create descriptive titles for each Chapter of the audiobook. I use these audiobooks instead of hard copies and I often get books that I want to use as reference. I wanted to go back to this one, for example, and review the information on how to work with the saboteurs. Numbered chapter titles don't help. Am I missing something in settings to make these chapters more descriptive? It's true for my whole Audible library. Thanks!

Brilliant inner work companion!

This author had been unknown to me. I feel blessed to have received this title recommendation from a friend. No nonsense and concrete benefits. More please!

Life changing!

This book is a gem for those seriously interested in self development. It is packed with techniques and information that will improve the way you approach every situation in life. Thank you so much! I will be listening to this book again to fully implement this into my life, and I hope one day that I can be part of your coaching team. Sincerely Ricardo Dieguez

The book was good and it had a lot of good content. The author could have put a little more energy and examples into the first have of the book in order draw the listener in more. I've listened to the author on other podcasts so I know the there is passion and energy there. Also a team of us were reading / listening to yhe book, and alll us listening had a similar experience, which it was difficult to stay in engaged and follow the content. I listened to some chapters twice. Overall, the book was very useful and I would recommend it to anyone and plan to use it for future coaching opportunities.
