from the back cover...
Just as a seed contains all the instructions and nutrients needed to begin fulfilling its potential, so too do we hold everything we need to draw out and excel in multiple intelligences - personality, cognition, and consciousness.
Like a seed, all of our human potential lies deep within and is present from the beginning. If even minimal conditions for sustaining life are present in the environment, then the natural cycle continues and our hidden potential bursts forth, becoming visible and real. As with refreshing water and vital nutrients and the warm energy of the sun, finding and applying needed resources moves us out of feeling "stuck" in who or where we are. And life is more than survival - the beauty of a creative act, the joy of shared relationships, the rewards of wise leadership. And like the seed that travels the ocean to begin colonizing a distant shore, each intelligence contributes a new way of perceiving and making choices, enriching all that we are.
Multiple Intelligences and Personality Type is different. The tools and strategies outlined in this book are more than just self-tests, an inner exploration, or a one-time academic journey on the topic of intelligence. Rather, this book is designed to teach you flexible tools and some important new perspectives so that you can tap your creative potential, fulfill goals and ideals, discover new outcomes, and better help others realize their potential as part of a larger shared vision, system, or organization.
Testimonials
"Dario Nardi has brought together a remarkable collection of concepts around the variability (variabilities) of intelligence and personality. Woven into this marvelous melange is the power of the senses and the influence of language. Obviously, Dr. Nardi recognizes that the language we use and the sensory awareness that language conveys will influence outcomes. This book is an excellent resource for students of psychology and communication and most expecially for scholars who are curious about the challenges of mixing all these concepts together in many different permutations to explore the possibilities. Therapists would also benefit from this exploration."
