This book is about climbing toward connection. Through the practice of critical skills that open our minds and connect us with our highest ideals, we can move beyond defending our points of view and strive toward choices that honour our desire to maximize our lives and impact. A conscious connection feels like a deep breath of cool air on top of a snow-capped mountaintop and the touch of a warm hand reaching out to pull you toward the warmth of the fire. Composed of four interlocking habits, this book will help you build conscious connections, find pockets of personal bliss, and maximize your leadership potential.
