What Matters Most

Brian Draper runs Echosounder, a consultancy which works with leaders and organizations to nurture their spiritual intelligence. He regularly contributes to "Thought for the Day" on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4. He is the inspirational author of Labyrinth and Spiritual Intelligence and his work has been acclaimed by Oliver James and Douglas Coupland.

“Some English mystics have spoken of `contemplation’ as `a long, loving look at the real’. This would be an apt description of `What Matters Most?’ Where, and how, in the ordinary events of everyday life, might we find the pearl of great price – the truth and reality that resonate deeply in the ground of our being? Brian Draper, with disarming honesty and a warm, invitational style, opens pathways that lead to what truly lies closest to our heart, and to the heart of God, however we understand that sacred mystery. His insightful reflections are punctuated by very practical spiritual exercises that can be readily integrated into the daily lives of those of any faith tradition, or of none. This is a treasury of wisdom in the language and the spirit of `the real’. Very well worth a long, loving look.”
