A timeless and deeply insightful guide to inner growth.

The 7 Steps of Spiritual Intelligence is more than just a book, it’s a mirror for anyone ready to examine the “why” behind their choices and purpose. Richard Bowell combines psychology, spirituality, and practical reflection in a way that feels both deeply human and refreshingly relevant, even years after its first publication.

What stands out most is how the book encourages a quiet kind of courage, to lead with awareness, act with integrity, and align our outer lives with inner values. It’s the kind of work that doesn’t just inform; it transforms, gently but profoundly.

A timeless read for those seeking clarity, compassion, and conscious living.

This book talks about the "why" of what we do. It is an interesting perspective about developing awareness, meaning and evaluation as you become centered in your true self. It led me into inquiry about my personal journey, including my vision and mission. Why read it? Ask why and find out for yourself!
