Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In Spiritual Intelligence, Michal Levin explores how, in an intelligent way, without the triviality that often accompanies New Age therapy, we can ease the ache of something missing within ourselves, and claim a spiritual reality. She describes a call that we can all hear:
A call to grow up, almost an evolutionary demand to move towards spiritual maturity. And it's a demand that dictates, first of all, that we move on from the age of the guru or priest.Levin is clear that she is not a guru, not even a teacher, but more of an enabler. She stresses the need to listen to our inner teacher, and to be aware of the needs and the strengths not just of our physical body, but also of our mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
As with most books about personal development, it is perhaps inevitable that this one promises more than it delivers, but it does contain a lot of good applied common sense. Levin's "five fundamental truths", for example, are:
1. Do no harm 2. Honour interconnectedness 3. Accept responsibility for yourself, your actions, the situations they create and their effect on others 4. Respect difference 5. Understand that things change.
And it's not just all pleasant-sounding theory; throughout the book are examples from the lives of Levin's clients, students and friends, and at the end of each chapter are practical exercises, questions to ask, issues to think about. All in all, a useful book for those seeking workable spiritual growth. --David V Barrett

A must - an essential map of spititual priciples in life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spiritual Intelligence: Awakening the Power of Your Spirituality and Intuition (Paperback)
I have personally worked with Michal for several years and during that time have longed for her to write a book which I could recommend to those who come to see me as clients in my psychotherapy practice, especially towards the end of therapy. This book is exactly what I require and is a rare example of apublication which reads very simply and easily, but is actually truly deep and profound. Having been a trustee of a major Buddist organisation and a practising psycoanalytic psychotherapist for many years , I find the depth of this book's content imppressive and hugely helpful. I recommend it to all those searching for a spiritual pathway in life.
