There are many ways people have done to pursuit happiness. Some people are pursuing happiness by accumulating wealth; this is called the physical happiness.

Some are pursuing happiness by getting others’ praises, appreciation, or recognition on their achievements; this is called the emotional happiness.

However, physical dan emotional happiness will not meet its end because it is natural to have unsatisfied thirst in pursuing those kinds of happiness. Therefore, in searching for the physical dan emotional happiness, people often end up in despair and stressful situation.

There is actually the third happiness, called spiritual happiness. It is fulfilled when someone is able to give the real meaning of their life, understand the purpose of their life, and know where they are going to. Unlike the physical & emotional happiness that have the nature of ‘taking’, the spiritual happiness makes people to be always ‘giving’.

To search for happiness, human being is equipped with 3 capitals, that is physical, emotional and spiritual capitals. While physical capital comes in the form of the natural resources, emotional capital is the feeling of togetherness and bound; and finally, spiritual capital is the ability to understand one’s self as God’s servant.

To function the three capitals, we need three kinds of intelligences. The first is IQ, that process “What I think” and manage the physical capital. Next, EQ, which is used to understand “What I feel” and perform the social capital; and SQ is to answer the question “Who I am” and deal with the spiritual capital.
ESQ Training is combining the three intelligences for a human to understand and gain the real happiness and a meaningful life.

Testimonials

DR Adhyaksa Dault - Indonesia’s State Minister for Sport and Youth Affairs (2004 - 2009)

I feel grateful that I could participate in ESQ training, as it gives me a valuable experience. I had learned a lot of scientific and religious knowledge before, which still looked like a scattered puzzle for me. With the help of Ary Ginanjar Agustian and God’s blessing, I can put all the scattered pieces into one complete and beautiful picture. ESQ offers scientific knowledge which should be learned by everyone, including religious leaders. ESQ holds universal values, which are not only for the muslims. What is being taught is beneficial for all. It is in line with the vision and mission of Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu (the United Indonesia Cabinet), that is religious nationalism.
