Beyond Belief, Study Guide: Living Into Spiritual Intelligence

How do we become more spiritually intelligent and feel more alive and aware? What is the knowledge, and what are the life experiences, that can deepen our connection to the divine while strengthening our relationships and our sense of meaning and purpose? In this companion study guide, the author details key concepts from each of the chapters in Beyond Belief and lists questions to invite group discussion. In them, he captures the contribution of both difficult and transformative social events in America while discussing the fascinating evolution of psychology, theology, and quantum physics over recent decades. And he draws from his own journey of moving through and beyond his early religious training and beliefs to capture a far more meaningful--and spiritually intelligent--perspective.
