There are so many things I love about the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. Since finding the book in February 2017, I have read it multiple times, and have been working to integrate the commitments into my practice as a coach and into my life on this planet. I notice my work with clients going deeper and having wider impact, and improvements in all of my relationships.
*Accessibility*
Every idea presented in this book is done in a manner that is easy to understand and easy to apply. Part I offers a simple model – a line that one can find oneself either above or below – that alone offers the potential for deep and lasting insight. The practice of locating oneself either above or below the line enables broader thinking and creates room to explore and potentially shift one’s mindset.
*A well-curated, well-organized gallery of ideas and principles*
The authors unabashedly draw on concepts and practices from the work of others (Hendricks Institute, Sedona Method, Byron Katie, Immunity to Change to name a few) to augment and support their own ideas.
*Not just for leaders, and not just for business*
Leaders absolutely benefit from the 15 Commitments. I have introduced it to clients in a variety of leadership roles, in a variety of organizations (tech, education, media). I also apply it to my own life and have found practices that have substantively improved my relationship with my stepchildren, and my communication with my husband, and other family members.
*Exercises and resources*
At then end of each chapter on the individual commitments there is a section, Practicing the Commitment, that offers ideas and exercises for building the commitment for yourself or in your organization. The authors also offer tools and videos at the Conscious Leadership Group website, Conscious.Is.
***Update November 2018***
My hard copy of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership is well worn, marked up and tabbed. It has become my gift of choice for leaders of all kinds and I find myself referring to it regularly as a resource guide for exploring the different challenges my client (and I face). In the Audible version, Jim Dethmer's voice provides a warm invitation to dig in and explore.

Potent with pitfalls - plus a tip if you're on the fence
TIP - if you're on the fence go to the website at conscious.is/resources and watch some of the videos. Read some of the supporting content.I deeply appreciate this book and the concepts within. They are potent. I have been in a company where this was "socialized" among leadership and it didn't take even though it resonated deeply with me. I took it to my new company where I'm advocating for it and using it with my team. I've purchased the "shift deck" cards to get "unstuck." I have a friend that said in doing this work that they had more breakthroughs in 2 weeks than in 2 years of therapy. If as a parent you like "Whole Brain Child" or "The Yes Brain" you may find principles in here resonate with you.I agree with the top reviewer that it has pitfalls more regarding how people choose to implement the book than the contents of the book itself. It sounds like someone's spouse got ahold of this book and did what I'm often tempted to do which is bring my "management" stuff to the home front. That can backfire depending on the situation.One reviewer wrote that the authors create a sense of "shame" if you're not into it - you might read the picture attached and draw your own conclusion. I took a webinar and over a hundred people all took a quiz and almost all realized together that we weren't fully deeply ready to embrace this philosophy and there was no shame in that experience.In that webinar it was also stated that we should NOT go to whomever we're having drama with and say - hey, i have this book, you're so below the line, etc.I'm a fan.
