What is the New IQ? From the White House, to the board room, to the privacy of our own bedrooms, and virtually everywhere in between, the missing key to solving today's biggest issues is a restoration of integrity. To succeed, integrity must be transformed from a fuzzy and impersonal philosophical concept to a practical, action-oriented and deeply rewarding way of life. That transformation begins with understanding that integrity includes self-integrity, relationship integrity and societal integrity. And understanding that these three forms of integrity reflect the three innate motivations we have that form the real recipe for life fulfillment: authenticity (being who we truly are), connection (bonding with others) and impact (positively influencing the world around us). Practical integrity is a very specific set of seven life skills. They are required not only for creating sustainable solutions to our current crises but for life fulfillment, great relationships, career success, and leadership that serves us all. This is what makes integrity intelligence arguably the most important form of intelligence we need in today's world: integrity intelligence is the new IQ that millions of people are searching for. What makes The New IQ truly revolutionary is that it is the world's first complete road-tested guide to integrity-centered living, working, loving, and serving! Dealing with today's vast array of major challenges calls upon us, as individuals and as a society, to take a fresh look at what creates life fulfillment. It requires that we as citizens develop a new vision of what to look for and require from our leaders in government, business, advocacy groups, community organizations and the media. Hailed as a "once-in-a-generation book," The New IQ provides the first step-by-step road map for restoring the vanishing virtue of integrity... for the sake of our loved ones, our communities, our businesses, our society, and our own personal wellbeing. Going far beyond being a self-help book, this critically acclaimed, five-award-winning action plan provides a socially responsible road map for attaining personal, relationship, and career fulfillment during difficult times without sacrificing ethics and integrity. Dr. David S. Gruder, PhD, DCEP, is perhaps the world's only clinical-organizational psychologist whose primary specialty is integrity development and education. As Integrity Revolution's Executive Director, he passionately embodies its mission statement (described above) through writing, keynotes, training, mentoring, and media interviews on various aspects of integrity-centered living, working, loving and serving. He is a frequent guest on many radio talk shows throughout North America. Dr. Gruder's doctorate is in clinical psychology with a secondary emphasis in organizational development and conflict resolution. For three decades, Dr. Gruder has provided organizational analyses, staff training, team development and executive mentoring, for executives, administrators, leaders, businesses, health care organizations, and educational institutions. He concurrently maintained a waiting-list private psychotherapy practice from 1980 until 2000. www.TheNewIQ.com www.TheNewIQ.com
