This ground-breaking book helps us discover all the ways we are smart. Based on three decades of teaching and research, it shows that we have at least ten kinds of aptitude---emotional and behavioral as well as mental. Personal stories and simple exercises teach us to access all ten, including: Spatial intelligence to pre-visualize important new projects; Motivational intelligence to light your creative fire; Mood intelligence to grow despite adversity; Pattern intelligence to combat addictions and negative habits; Intuitive intelligence to gain in spiritual wisdom; Parameter intelligence to sustain what you love and live in harmony with the universe. Elaine Austin de Beauport is a teacher, researcher, and educational innovator. Her long standing interest in human and spiritual development led her to one particular area of research—the brain. In 1979, she founded the Mead School for Human Development, and the Self-Care Training Program, which she teaches to medical professionals and educators in North and South America. She has taught every age from two to eighty, in pre-school, elementary, and secondary school, as well as college and post-graduate courses. Dividing her time between New York City and Venezuela, de Beauport continues to teach adults in both North and South America. |
