Instead of changing the world one individual at a time; we can start changing the world every individual starting now.

We waste trillions of dollars due to lack of emotional intelligence education. The havoc that we create is by focusing on just educating our people to be able to earn a living and leaving the education of people of how to live their lives on chance. We think that a good upbringing is up to the parents. As there are four levels of the human mind there are four levels of parents. So by leaving emotional intelligence education in the hands of parents we are taking a big chance because parents are -2, -1 and mostly +1. Thus the perpetual cycle of unhealthy upbringing continues. -2 and -1 individuals in society cost the whole society. Look at all the crime and the cost of jails, emotional and physical pain etc.
We have to take two steps. Before any couple decides to get married or even as soon as a pregnancy is known we must make sure that the individuals know their responsibility as parents. They must be taught how to bring up their coming child as a super mature being.

The second step must be to make emotional intelligence education compulsory from PreK-12 and beyond. Thanks to pioneers like Dr. Daniel Goleman and Dr. Depak Chopra we know that emotional intelligence is as important as math and science. Now every year 1000s of original papers are published on some aspect of emotional intelligence. There are dozens of important books explaining every aspect of emotional intelligence. All the knowledge is already there to create text books just as we have text books for math and science. We can have lessons and exercises that teach emotional intelligence.

As the highest form of emotional intelligence is wisdom we must shoot directly for teaching wisdom. As I have managed to uncover the mystery of wisdom it is very clear what wisdom education is. Wisdom education is cleaning the brain of all and any emotional garbage. In India we have been using mindfulness since the time of the Buddha to clean and purify our souls. There are many many newer scientific ways to over come the fears/traumas (emotional garbage) of the past. Hypnotism is the fastest way but it only works for some. You can find many ways on the internet.

We can also create a whole new kind of teachers. Teachers who specialize in cleaning up the brain of past buried emotions thus enabling the brain to be free to sprout wisdom.

We can never make every one +2 super mature as there are many factors like our genes, environment, poverty etc. that will make a significant number to fall through the cracks. However in a country like America where the vast majority of us grow up with a 'trophy self image' the vast majority can grow up +2! It is a simple matter of educating the soon to be parents; as well as giving a second chance of a healthy upbringing to all the students starting from PreK all the way to college by creating a compulsory emotional intelligence/wisdom subject.

We have hundreds of subjects for regular education why can't we have just one, just one more subject that teaches wisdom? Not only does lack of emotional intelligence education reflect and determine the life of individuals, it even determines the fate of whole groups and countries. (This will be my next knol - the affect on groups and countries of lack of wisdom education).
