Abstract	In this, his most recent book, Spiritual Intelligence: A New Frontier, Dr. Azin Nasseri, a distinguished psychologist with over 25 years of experience as a clinician, masterfully integrates evidence-based psychological theories with principles of applied spirituality in order to cultivate among readers the capacities that are required if one wishes to live a flourishing and meaningful life. Drawing inspiration from diverse psychological, philosophical, and spiritual traditions, particularly The Seven Valleys by the Persian Luminary, Bahá’u’lláh, Dr. Nasseri introduces a profound framework for cultivating spiritual intelligence through the refinement of seven core capacities: the capacity to search for truth; the capacity to love intelligently; the capacity for knowledge and discernment; the capacity to create and restore unity; the ability to sustain contentment and gratitude during periods of hardship; the capacity to align one’s free will with the Divine Will; and the capacity for self-surrender, which yields the fruit of authentic love. The urgency of this work is clear. As Dr. Nasseri explains, while we have developed powerful intellectual tools that grant us some degree of mastery over nature and technologies, many of us lack mastery over our own selves. In this sense, even the most intelligent among us can feel that we are failing to meet life’s challenges with wisdom, courage, and a heart animated by love for self and others. In lucid and enchanting ways, drawing upon case studies from his own clinical practice with individuals, couples, and families, Dr. Nasseri demonstrates how the conscious application of universal spiritual principles to the challenges of life can result in the kind of development that confers contentment, higher degrees of inner and interpersonal unity, and greater harmony with that which is beautiful and good in the human person and the world. For those who peruse and apply it, Spiritual Intelligence: A New Frontier will prove to be a vital resource for navigating our shared future with wisdom, compassion, and a profound sense of purpose. Indeed, one can affirm, without exaggeration, that lay readers and mental health professionals alike are sure to find within this volume a distillation of some of the profoundest truths about human development ever recorded. -- Michael Penn
