The Positive Intelligence book, written by world-renowned coach and best-selling author Shirzad Chamine, identifies 10 saboteurs and 5 sage powers in our psyche that determine our level of “mental fitness,” or our ability to manage stressful situations in a healthy way.

​

Positive Intelligence (PQ) is a synthesis of recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive positive psychology, and performance science. PQ has been validated by over half a million participants in 50 countries.

​

PQ is a measure of the strength of positive mental muscles (Sage) versus negative ones (Saboteur).

 

Saboteurs react to challenges in ways that generate negative emotions such as stress, disappointment, self-doubt, regret, anger, shame, guilt, or worry.

​

The Sage handles challenges through positive emotions such as empathy, gratitude, curiosity, creativity, self-confidence, and calm, clear-headed, laser-focused action.

​

The relative Strength of the positive Sage versus the negative Saboteurs is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient). Mental Fitness is measured by your PQ score. PQ is an accurate predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your full potential.

​

The PQ Program dramatically improves performance and productivity and helps you respond to challenging life situations with a calm, clear, and happier mind and outlook on work and life.
