REVIEW #2 5 Stars (Reader’s Favorite)
Conscious Intelligence: Master your Circumstances, Master Your Life by Eric Erenstoft is a self-help and motivational guide to help readers achieve success in all aspects of life. To achieve this, Erenstoft provides three distinct sections and nineteen chapters that build on the elevation of consciousness in theory, in practice, and in life. Once the premise of conscious intelligence is established, the book moves on to distinction and all its forms, the power of words and communication, the chains and prisons we lock ourselves into, all the way through to benevolence, the exchange of energy and resources, and change. Throughout, Erenstoft gives relatable, real-life examples of the positive impact of Conscious Intelligence and the detriment of ignoring it.
This is an incredibly detailed and well-written book, and Eric Erenstoft does an exceptionally good job of breaking down a seemingly overwhelming concept in a comfortable narrative. So much so, that it felt a bit like I had an ‘ah-ha!’ moment in virtually every chapter. My favorite part of the book related to Universal Accountability, and Universal Justice in particular. This is partly because I was born in Islamabad and can identify through personal experience the correlation made with Malala’s story, but also because the toxicity of revenge is well known and its application truly does only promote further destruction. I found myself reading the section on Adapting versus Accepting to my wife, a standout line being: “When adaptation is used to ignore an injurious malady, we become complicit in avoiding the hard work necessary for proper recovery.” Conscious Intelligence is a sound, relevant, and enlightening work that will likely resonate with all readers on many fronts.
