Yesterday I was clever. I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise. I am changing myself. Rumi We are entering the Age of Consciousness. Where in times past the pursuit of higher consciousness was restricted to the very few, in the Age of Consciousness it is available to everyone just as in the Age of Information everything you wanted to know was at your fingertips. People the world over are moving toward a new spirituality. They are moving away from a narrow definition of humanity centered around religion and nationalism to one that celebrates global citizenship and stewardship. These global citizens are now coming together to co-create a new humanity: a new culture, a new economy, a new ecology, and a new mythology. Sacred Commerce introduces the concept of the Fourth Bottom Line and explores a new Hero s Journey that is sourced in Emotional Alchemy, Resonance Causation, Conscious Evolution, and Beauty, Goodness, and Truth the transformational ingredients necessary to step fully into the Age of Consciousness. Explore the history and mystery of commerce in this widely anticipated follow-up to Executive EQ , the international best-selling book that introduced and pioneered Emotional Intelligence and the Four Cornerstone Model in the business world.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to use their business as a force for good in the world. --Zhena Muzyka, founder of Zhena s Gypsy Tea and author of Life by the Cup At a time in our history when corporations and commerce have gained prominent influence in our governments, it is critical we have a manual like Sacred Commerce to guide that influence towards raising consciousness. It champions the union of archetypal myth and fact, left and right brain, sacred and mundane, and heart and head, leading us to a form of commerce where our perceptions don t limit us from using it in the most sacred way. --Lisa Wimberger, author of New Beliefs, New Brain and Neurosculpting Sacred Commerce is a thought-provoking book that reflects the uncommon vision and creative energy of Ayman Sawaf and Rowan Gabrielle.
