The Uncommon Path is a lively
compilation of real-life
relevance and concrete examples
- a
must-read if you yearn for true purpose and freedom
and if, after
years of traditional
self-development programs, you now suspect that the very beliefs and patterns
you want
to transcend and include have been leading your quest all along.
Published
by O-Books UK/USA, this book makes a drastic
distinction between conceptual
free will and conscious free will. This evolutionary differentiation
forms the basis for
the entire
book and sets the stage for your awakening to thrive as
you blend your
unfolding perspectives
into your current ways of living. You, too, will realize that
individual transformation is a
prerequisite to world peace and how this is possible for you.
|
You
can awaken your full potential
by identifying the reality you are
co-creating through concealed
conditioning: those conversations
relationships and responses
to life that curb the expression
of complete authenticity
|
|
The Uncommon Path
combines core aspects of Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory,
the simplicity
of Dennis Genpo
Merzel’s Big Mind/Big Heart Process, the gentleness of Eckhart Tolle’s
wisdom, the
directness of
Andrew
Cohen’s teachings of Evolutionary Enlightenment with
practical
exercises based on the lifework of the founder of the International
Coaching
Federation, Thomas J.
Leonard, to reveal to you the option of authentic joy. This bridges
the gap
between the wisdom of Gnostics and the everyday reality of your living room.

"With The Uncommon Path, Mick Quinn gives us a program to achieve
genuine
happiness, and he does so in an informative and gripping
way.
I highly recommend
this book to anyone who is willing to let go
of his or
her suffering and achieve authentic joy."

Told in conversational format, The Uncommon Path presents real-life stories that allow
you to embrace your inner wisdom, and identify the life that is currently
yours by
concealed
conditioning; meaning those conversations, relationships,
and responses to life that curb the
expression of your greatest potential for the sake of humanity.
The Uncommon Path
offers many insightful exercises and assessments,
including:
–
A comprehensive and thought-provoking
four-part exercise to
uncover hidden habituation related to family, relationships,
career, money, health, social status, spirituality and beliefs.
By
following the instructions outlined in this book, you will be able to
identify the exact
degree
of concealed
conditioning by the ways in which you respond to
the statements
contained in these exercises, such as:
|
|
You do not
struggle with the arising of thoughts and emotions.
You are aware of
your primary value in a single hierarchy of values.
Your most important
relationships are free from repeated
psychological and
emotional conflict.
You are involved in
at least one long-term committed relationship,
intimate — or
otherwise — with which you are fully content.
You do not have
cause to question your love for someone,
or doubt
another’s love for you.
Your family
members do not know how to ‘push your buttons’.
You trust in your
ability to make great decisions.
Your personal
interpretation of God is not exclusive to a
particular image, gender, or
epoch and was not assigned
by the culture into which you were
born.
You have more than
enough energy to get through the day.
You live a
clutter free life.
There is little or
no difference between who you are in your
‘spiritual
life’ and in your ‘work’ life.
Your current
work/job/career is a clear expression of your
full creative
abilities.

"Mick Quinn’s style is clear and
direct and places you in a frame of mind from
which to comprehend
deeper and higher levels of yourself. This is because
he speaks
between the lines, sometimes even in the things he doesn't say -
like silence making music. I highly recommend his
excellent book"

Early
acclaim for The Uncommon Path
Dr. Mario E Martinez: Psy.D, Author of The Man From Autumn, Caroline
Myss’
protégé, and founder of the Institute of Biocognitive
Psychology. "In addition to
offering an ecology of consciousness, Mick Quinn has
succeeded in guiding the reader
through a cogent path that leads to karmic liberation
and the end of discipleship of pain.
The Uncommon Path avoids transcendental platitudes, by
providing substantive
strategies to master the internal freedom that most
seekers dream about but seldom
achieve. Rather than the usual promises made by other
authors to find enlightenment,
Quinn exposes the ego's reliance on entrenched
conditioning, and teaches how to
transcend the illusion of mediocrity in order to
embrace our entitled greatness. The
Uncommon Path lives up to its title and beyond."
Dr. Patrick Murray: M.A, M.Litt. PhD (NUI) PhD (T.C.D.) H.D.E.
Lecturer, historian
and author of Oracles of God. Former Maynooth College
professor. "I have read
Mick Quinn’s proposal for his book The Uncommon
Path. His narrative is thus eminently
readable and lively. I have been most impressed by
both his subject matter and his
presentation. I believe that the finished work will be
valuable for many kinds of people.
The author has succeeded in digesting a variety of
significant ideas, and in giving clear
expression to them. He is thought provoking
throughout, and will win many readers to
achieve a happier more relaxed and contented way of
living. A valuable feature of the
author’s work is its infectious enthusiasm, which
cannot fail to attract readers."
Rogier F. van Vlissingen: Author of Closing the Circle. "Reading Mick Quinn's
material was like a breath of fresh air to me at the
time when I first encountered it, or
perhaps like a ‘buzzsaw’ that went cross-grain
through all my beliefs and assumptions,
allowing me to question a lot of things, and the
nicest thing perhaps is that while before
and after the encounter I perceive myself to be on a
very different path in form,
nevertheless everything I've found here has been
thoroughly helpful, and stimulating."
Lynnda Pollio: Author of Soulseeds. "When
we are ready for truth, it appears. If The
Uncommon Path has reached your hands, you are ready for
the truth of its extraordinary
message. There are many books that speak of living in
the moment, finding the stillness
and reclaiming our authentic selves. The Uncommon Path
is the first of the next
generation, offering not only hypotheses and hope, but
real solutions for real people."
Gary
Renard: Bestselling author of Your Immortal Reality and The
Disappearance
of the Universe.
"With The Uncommon Path,
Mick Quinn gives us a program to
achieve genuine happiness, and he does so in an
informative and gripping way. I
highly recommend this book to anyone who is willing to
let go of his or her suffering
and achieve authentic joy."
Ed Bobrow: Author of 11 books, contributing author to: Dow
Jones - Irwin's,
New Products Handbook, American Management Association's
Marketing
Handbook, and former Adjunct Associate Professor at New York
University.
"The
Uncommon Path is nourishment for your soul and practical advice for
your
success. This book inspires change, by helping you
understand yourself and how
you relate to the world around you. Reading it is a
joy, and applying its principles
is a way to define your purpose and goals in life. I
am honored to commend it to you."
Lama Ole Nydahl: Author of several books and leader to over
500 Diamond Way
meditation centers worldwide. Lama Ole graciously
offered his brilliant summary of
the death and dying process to be used in the book. He
said that: "The
Uncommon Path
is such an important work."
Excerpt from available Foreword by: Bob Weinstein: Nationally
syndicated
journalist (King Features) and author of 12 books. "…In a few short years, just as
he achieved the American – make that Irish dream –
he abandoned it and began to
reflect on life and, yes, an idea for a book
appeared. But Quinn did not produce another
how-to-get-rich-and-successful book, he wrote a
timeless one about the foundation of
true success – awakening to authentic joy. This book
is not about Quinn delivering
another Sermon on the Mount, instead, Quinn bared his
soul and delivered a universally
powerful, yet intimate message. It is abundantly clear
that The Uncommon Path, and
The Four Insights are based upon Quinn’s own
experiences and journey, which is
deeply rooted in Buddhist and Christian teachings."

The Uncommon Path:
» Shows how the ego is
frequently leading the quest to transcend itself
» Introduces a radical yet
practical values-based teaching on the decision-making
process
» Directly links values,
intentions, and destiny in the context of awakening
» Puts the how into the
‘Now’
» Completely free of dogma
yet appeals to all major traditions, both East and West
» Describes the foundations
of nonviolent communication in everyday language
» Speaks with great clarity
on the reality of conflict-free relationships
» Distills complex spiritual
concepts into practical wisdom
"...if you are not clear about the influence of the unhealthy
aspects of the ego-mind,
you can be sure it is clear
about what its goals are for you. It is only when you
begin to recognize
its manifestations that you can develop the capacity to free
yourself from its authority.
But before that, it is
likely that even your finest spiritual
seeking is never
much more than
a narcissistic romp in samsara."
