About this listen
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.

awesome book for everyone
this is a great book and I'm actually listening to it for the second time, it's based on years of research.
unlike most of the self- help books that repeat one idea over and over again, every single paragraph of this book was actually very helpful and the stories were very helpful and not repetitive.

Important book
I intend to listen to this book again in the near future. Lots of insightful ideas, examples, and a structure for coaching sessions.
Not a fan of the terminology and how depth of the material seems to go up and down, but this book deserves five stars.

An easy to understand approach to shifting our thought patterns
The approach that Shirzad shares of identifying our saboteurs and engaging our Sage to overcome them, is relatable and impactful. In addition to sharing all of the elements of the PQ operating system, the case studies show how the principles can be applied in real life. Great learning and I’m grateful for Shirzads work being shared.

Life Changing
Thank you for writing and sharing this with the world. I wish I knew this sooner. Daily practice is proving to help me personally and have begun to introduce the concepts to my son. I hope this will help prepare him for this beautiful crazy world. Thank you for opening my eyes to a new level on consciousness:)

The Author should not have performed the audio book himself.
I'm sure there is information in this book that is valuable somewhere, but the performance and the writing ensured that I would never get to it. This was the least motivating, motivational book I have ever had the displeasure of attempting to listen to. Not only would it benefit from serious editing, but the author performs it himself and his voice is so monotonous I couldn't keep listening. Two recommendations: get to the point faster and get someone with a voice that can engage readers. No amount of positivity can motivate me to continue listening.
