To the outside world, Australia-based Very Important Corporation is a thriving and successful company. What the world doesn't know is that Bruce Bottomline, the COO, is on the brink of quitting because he knows in his heart that the company's culture is driving it headlong toward its own demise. Bruce is a cofounder of this company with long-time friend and CEO Helen Hardcharger, so he doesn't want to abandon their dream. But he can't see any way to fix the problem. Fortunately for Bruce and all of his partners and employees, fate has planned a chance meeting on an airplane between him and Sam Sherlock. Sam introduces Bruce to the concept of UGRs, or unwritten ground rules. It turns out that at the Very Important Corporation, complaining in meetings is pointless because no one tackles the issues. And employees only get visits from their boss if something is wrong. Unwritten ground rules like these need a serious overhaul. This is the vehicle for change, and Bruce comes away recharged and prepared to put the company's corporate culture back on a track. Learn from Bruce's mistakes and triumphs how you, too, can address your company's UGRs and revitalize its culture.

Essays on the Theory and Practice of Psychosynthesis as a Psychospiritual Psychology\nThe Institute of Psychosynthesis, London celebrates its 40th anniversary by publishing a new book on Psychospiritual Psychology. This book gathers together a growing body of knowledge around this new psychology; one which recognises the reality of transpersonal experiences as being life-changing or meaning-giving events.\nToday, the differentiation between Psychospiritual Psychology and Transpersonal Psychology is much clearer. Psychospiritual psychology - while not polarised with transpersonal psychology – is an attempt to add to it and move the debate on. The term has risen from within the transpersonal perspective and proposes levels, which are not as yet clearly defined or ‘mapped’ – namely Spirit and Will. As the idea has developed we see that in transpersonal psychology there is a well defined personal and collective unconscious, and psychospiritual psychology adds the distinction of a spiritual consciousness – that of the Self.\nPsychospiritual psychology regards the Self as a reality, a living entity, direct and certain knowledge or awareness of which can be had. It recognises that the Self is a ‘spiritual being’ imbued with love which can be present to us in both its immanent and transcendent state. It mediates the interface between psyche and spirit and attempts to reconcile two fundamental experiences: the way in which we experience ourselves in our ‘wholeness’ – the way of spirit; and the way in which we experience our separateness – the way of psyche or soul, that aspect of Self which suffers separation.\nCentral to a psychospiritual perspective is the relationship between the ‘I’ and the Self. There is a marked distinction between consciousness, however transcendent, and the freedom to act in relation to just such a consciousness. Therefore the purpose of individuation has meaning beyond simply the realisation of Self. ‘I am that I am’ shifts the level of causality and brings with it an imperative to act in relation to that which one knows, thus making the ‘I’ an effective servant of the Self as it, at its own level, both realises an ethical consciousness and the imperative to embody this consciousness. In this way a quest for healing or ‘wholeness’ therefore can be seen as a sacred quest towards becoming a moral being.\nThese ideas and many more are explored in depth in the wide-ranging collection of papers gathered together across the 30 chapters in this book. We showcase both the theory and extensive clinical practice of this psychology. Together they create a kaleidoscope of views, experiences and insights into psychosynthesis and psychospiritual psychology as it is expressed and practiced today.\nThis book is for psychologists, therapists and students of all schools of psychology who live at the boundaries today between the practice of psychotherapy and spirituality and whose many healthily neurotic clients struggle with issues of meaning-making and wonder about their spirituality.

Freedom of speech is indispensable to a free and civilized society, yet this precious right is increasingly under attack today. • Islamic totalitarians repeatedly threaten and kill those deemed blasphemers, while our political leaders stand idly by, and many intellectuals blame the victims. • College students seek “trigger warnings” and “safe spaces” from controversial ideas and fly into fits of rage at the slightest offense. • The government harasses tea party groups, preventing them from speaking out during an election, and it investigates oil companies and advocacy groups for the “crime” of dissenting from climate change orthodoxy. Why is this happening? What can be done? This hard-hitting collection provides answers. Applying Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism to the most pressing free speech issues of the day, the essays in this book reveal the attacks on free speech to be the product of destructive ideas—ideas that are eroding Western culture at its foundation. They expose those ideas and the individuals who hold them, and, importantly, they identify the only ideas on which Western civilization can be sustained: reason, egoism, and individual rights.
