A Short Course in Intelligence: Intelligence is as intelligence does

by Chris Thomson, Stephen Hobbs (Narrator)

This is a short book. It will be followed by others, which will go into detail in aspects of intelligence. This book simply introduces you to what intelligence is, and what it is not. It gives you a sense of the vast scope of intelligence, ranging from the physical, at one of the spectrum, right through to the spiritual. Above all, this book will show you how to get started working on your own intelligence. Do this, and the world will change. The Start of the Why a course in intelligence? For two very compelling reasons. First reason – intelligence is about the whole of you, and about all aspects of your life and work. Change your intelligence, and everything else changes. Improve your intelligence, and all aspects of your life improve. Yes, all of them! Neglect your intelligence, and you pay the price. Things don’t go as well as they could. The single most powerful way to change yourself and your life is to raise the level of your intelligence. And, just in case you are wondering, intelligence is not fixed. It is not something you happen to be born with that remains unchanged forever. On the contrary, each time you work on your intelligence (in the ways described in this book), you become a little more intelligent. This book gives you a structure and process for doing this. It could well be the most important work you ever do. Second reason – the world needs intelligence more than ever. Perhaps you have not heard of the Doomsday Clock. Look it up on Google. You will see that midnight is the hour of global catastrophe, environmental or nuclear, or a combination of both. In my lifetime, nearly 74 years, the clock has been at 2 minutes to midnight only twice, in 1953 and today. 1953 was when the first H-bombs were exploded. Our insane collective attitude to climate change and nuclear weapons tells us why we are so close to midnight now. It need not be this way. ...

He then trained as a psychotherapist in London, before joining the Scottish Council Foundation, a think-tank in Edinburgh, set up in anticipation of devolution. From there he moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he advised multinational corporations on moral issues. These days, Chris is actively involved in two activities. With colleagues, he is setting up a modern mystery school, which is designed to make the esoteric exoteric, and the paranormal normal. And he is a partner in the GYAT Consultancy, which works with people and organisations who are struggling to find a meaningful role in the fast-changing world. Chris published Full Spectrum Intelligence in 2014. The new edition is entitled A Short Course Intelligence. He is currently publishing a series of short courses. He now lives in the Catalan Pyrenees, because he loves mountains. The ski slopes are only 20 minutes away! As well as passable Spanish and French, Chris speaks Chinese.
