FLAME with Brad Hook
What Is Spiritual Intelligence — and Why Does It Matter?
MIT engineer, Harvard MBA, CEO-turned-psychologist: Dr Yosi Amram has mapped 22 spiritual qualities that show up across every culture and belief system — and predict how well we lead and love.
Yosi's unusual résumé gives the topic unusual credibility. After leading companies as a founder-CEO he retrained as a licensed psychologist, and his research asks what 'spiritual intelligence' actually consists of once you strip away any particular religion: qualities like purpose, presence, gratitude, humility and compassion that transcend traditions.
The conversation explores how these qualities transform leadership and deepen relationships — and why, in an age of uncertainty and AI, connecting to what genuinely matters is becoming a practical skill rather than a luxury. For founders, coaches, parents and seekers alike.
