Is the Age of Interiority Upon Us? Interiority is an ancient word. As understood by St. Augustine (353-430 AD), Interiority is the exercise of coming to know oneself and God. St. Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274) referred to it as the dynamic structure of human intelligence, reflected in the desire to know all there is to know. Interiority in this book is about powerful inner resources that drive productivity and produce wholeness in everyone through their work. Our society is in deep trouble. People are disillusioned and lack direction. Institutions have lost credibility. Trumpeted solutions sound empty. Seventy-one percent (71%) of workers in the U.S. are disengaged from their work to some degree (Gallup, Q12 Survey). We need people with strengths fueled from within. People working with energies of Interiority can change themselves. This is the basis of all influence for change in the workplace, society, and everything. You are invited on a journey to influence how excellent work is achieved, and emergent wholeness grows in our world, and in us.
