How many factors control our life? There are many. But the book deals with the significant seven factors. Intelligence is important for achieving. Understanding self and others needs our emotional awareness. Communicating with others helps maintain the relationship. When we face adversity (challenge), we need to deal with it and bounce back, showing resilience. Keeping a balanced state of mind, irrespective of the life's varying situations, shows our spiritual alignment. Keeping ourselves fit needs focus on our health. All these characteristics are interconnected. A measure of these qualities is called a quotient, like intelligence measured by intelligence quotient. We can have quotients for the rest of the factors.
Coming to think of it, we use three elements throughout our life, namely time, energy and money.
A judicious use of these elements to support the development and nurturing of the seven factors results in enriching our life. That is the magic.
The book is an outcome of insights gained from executive and leadership coaching of scores of leaders across several industry segments. The book deals with the concepts and practices, with a liberal dose of anecdotes.
The annexure covers the self-test questionnaire for the six factors (except IQ), guidelines for scoring and a report. These would enable the reader to have a self-assessment and plan for development action.
This book will be useful for anyone interested in becoming a holistic and effective person. It helps to achieve success and attaining fulfillment.
