In a world losing its bearings, marked by a growing quest for meaning, Existential coaching and spiritual intelligence by Elisabeth Carrio offers an original and powerful reflection, at the crossroads of psychology, philosophy and spiritual traditions. This book offers both a structuring theoretical framework and one practical toolbox for those who seek to know themselves better and to support others in an existential approach.
🌀 A syncretic and transdisciplinary approach
The work is based on a founding hypothesis: each individual carries within them a unique psychic identity card, shaped by ten basic needs and expressed through a dominant personalityTo decipher it, the author calls upon various sources — existential psychology (Heidegger, Frankl), neuroscience, Kabbalah, astrological symbolism — in order to develop a structuring typological model.
This model allows you to:
Recognize your dominant needs;
Identify your core values;
Understand your own and others' ways of operating;
Access to a understanding the meaning of one's life, beyond social injunctions.
🧭 A guide for coaches, meaning seekers, and leaders
The book develops two axes: self-knowledge And the quest for meaning, which are developed through typologies, exercises, self-assessment tests and clear diagrams. It is aimed at anyone engaged in a path of personal or professional development, and more particularly at coaches who wish to enrich their practice with an existential and spiritual dimension.
Spiritual intelligence is presented as a vector of conscious adaptation, capable of supporting leadership, resilience and alignment in complex and multicultural environments.
