So this one surprised me. I would never have read it based on the cover or name. It smacked of a type of jargon-filled, “how to succeed in business” nonsense that just does nothing for me personally.
However somebody I respected a lot recommended it to me. I became more and more impressed with the underlying psychology as I read. The methods don’t wander far from some of the means-tested Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills. It added value by keeping its tenants streamlined and simple and adding a cohesive framework to make it memorable. One of the few of these style of book that I would recommend without hesitation for anybody regardless of use in business or just everyday living.

It is a good book. It has a different approach. I will be following up on the website to see if I can incorporate some of this in my interactions more.

After reading Positive Intelligence, I think the full title probably limits the number of people who would pick it up, thinking it's a business book.
While he does have applicability to business settings, it's equally, if not more relevant to the individual reader. The author provides a number of insights into how to take ownership of your own mind and its sometimes counterproductive thoughts. I've already been putting a number of the suggestions into practice and look forward to learning more.

This book is all about how certain ways of thinking work against you and others serve you well and help you flourish. We all have inner wisdom and perspective, but we don't always think from this "sage" perspective and so we don't all flourish. Some of the book felt a little too much like Chamine was trying to sell his concept, but other than that, lots of interesting and worthwhile information and food for thought, and a fun book to read!

Succinct. Measurable-ish. Actionable. Chamine offers a practical approach to shifting individual and team dynamics towards a more positive pathway. This is not a book that offers a plan to merely "think positive" or "meditate your way to happiness." No. It's an actionable approach to identifying and then addressing fundamental problems through analysis, introspection, and communication.
2022-03-16 Worthy of a second read. More than, "just think happy thoughts". Actual science of the brain employed to develop awareness and control of thought patterns, as in, "Take every thought captive to obey Christ".

The book was very insightful, and hard a ton of good points that are critical for everyone to be aware of. I essentially loved the in-depth analysis of the Saboteurs, Sage, and PQ Brain. As well as the incorporation how you can activate your own PQ Brain. However, I’m personally not a huge fan of self help books, and I found this one to be quite slow pace even with interesting examples. It seemed to be very drawn out, and repeated the same information three or four times.
It’s still a good read though for fans of self help books, or if you are curious about becoming more mindful of yourself and others.

There are some good nuggets in here but I don’t personally like Shrizad that much so it colored the audiobook experience for sure
