Daniel Goleman's 1995 book Emotional Intelligence helped us understand the importance of this faculty in our everyday lives. In this intellectually adventuresome exploration of the three faces of mind, Elaine de Beauport, writing with Aura Sofia Diaz, looks at the brain as energy system with thinking, emotional, and pattern intelligences. This new version of her 1997 book features a preface by the author, updating her research since the last publication, and a foreword by Joseph Chilton Pearce.
The Three Faces of Mind is based on 26 years of teaching and research. De Beauport's most innovative chapters focus on the activities of the limbic brain, which includes affectional mood and motivational intelligence. It turns out that practicing love and exploring the connections that link us to others is healthy and life-enhancing. De Beauport also reveals that creativity and spirituality are connected to intuitive intelligence. Practical exercises are peppered throughout the book making these insights into the mind not only edifying but practical.
