So what is Spiral Dynamics? Let’s start with the following questions.

Have you ever:

• Wanted to follow your passion but think you can’t make money from it?
• Wanted to get organized but get bored following systems?
• Felt burnt out and dreamt of giving it all in and living simply?
• Wanted to make lots of money but can’t face the rat-race?
• Liked the security of being employed but don’t like people telling you what to do?

Each of these thoughts reflects different levels in the Values Hierarchy and the specific problems related to transitioning between the levels. Often we feel that the issues we see in our life are unique to us as individuals, when they may in fact reflect a stage in our development. When you know where you are now and what the next level is, it is easier to make progress rapidly and smoothly. This reduces stress and frustration and enhances your success and happiness.
