Excerpt (from Introduction):
I was twelve when I read an illustrated book about Sisyphus, the king who was being punished after falling from grace. For weeks I couldn’t get the image out of my mind. This poor former king painstakingly pushing a huge boulder up a steep hill over and over again, only to see his efforts unravel right before making it to the top. What torture, I thought! I felt burdened and depressed just thinking about it.
It took me years of observing myself and others to realize that in many aspects of our lives we don’t fare much better than Sisyphus. Many of our efforts at improving our success or happiness unravel just as surely as the giant boulder rolling back to the bottom of the hill.
Think about it. Why are most New Year’s resolutions abandoned year after year? Why do most dieters succumb to yo-yo dieting? Why does that nagging and anxious voice in our head keep returning to torture us when we are trying to sleep? Why is our increased happiness so fleeting after we achieve what we thought would bring lasting happiness? Why do new leadership skills acquired in workshops soon give way to old habits? Why do expensive team-building retreats only result in temporary blips in team cohesion and performance?
PQ Gym
One of the many research-based tools of Positive Intelligence is “PQ Reps.” These simple 10-second exercises build up new “muscles” (neural pathways) in your PQ Brain region.
The PQ Brain region releases endorphins that counter stress-related hormones caused by your Survivor Brain region and its associated Saboteurs. As you strengthen you PQ Brain, you are able to meet your challenges with a calm and clear mind, laser-focused on insight and action.
