Master Your Mind,
Master Your Life
8-Week Transformational Mental Fitness Bootcamp*
*In association with Shirzad Chamine and Positive Intelligence, Inc.
Research shows that 80% of people score below the minimum level of mental fitness required for performing at their best, having truly healthy relationships and experiencing lasting happiness.
The good news? Research also shows that significant improvements can be made in your mental fitness within just 6-weeks of the right practice.
mental fitness & PQ:
EQ & IQ help you know your potential.
PQ helps you achieve it.
PQ is the Mental Fitness measure which measures the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus your negative mental muscles (Saboteurs). In other words, how happy you feel.
Saboteurs are the unhelpful negative thinking patterns that cause you to react to challenges in ways that generate negative emotions such as stress, guilt, self-doubt, shame, disappointment, anger, worry, etc.
Your Sage is the helpful positive way to handle stressors and challenges as well as harness positive emotions like curiosity, creativity, empathy and self-confidence with calm, clear-headed, aligned action.
The Right Practice
Within only 6-8 weeks of mental fitness training, MRI brain imaging showed visible results of:
Increased grey matter in the PQ Brain region, where your Sage lives (the areas associated with insight, creativity, response flexibility, emotional regulation, inspiration, etc.).
Decreased grey matter in the Survivor Brain region, where your Saboteurs live (the areas associated with stress, anxiety, fear, anger, etc.).
CHANGE YOUR LIFE with only 10-15 minutes of practice a day!
“This has been the most impactful training I ever experienced.”*

Breakthrough Research
Based on cutting-edge research that synthesized recent breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive and positive psychology, as well as performance science which included over 500,000 participants in 50 countries:
- 3 core muscles (Self-command, Sage and Saboteur Interceptor muscles) constitute mental fitness.
- Saboteurs and Sage live in entirely different regions of the brain.
- You can cause a dramatic shift in brain activation to weaken Saboteurs and boost Sage.
3 Core muscles of mental fitness:
1. Self-Command Muscle
You’re not in full command of your mind. If you were, you would choose to entirely silence the Saboteurs in your head. You would choose to not stress out over what you can’t control, push away self-doubts, recover from disappointments immediately, and spend little time in anger, regret, or blame.
PQ Reps are innovative 10-second exercises which build up this crucial Self-Command muscle in the brain. You learn to run your brain, rather than allow your Saboteur-hijacked brain to run you.
2. Sage Muscle
Your Sage is the version of you that handles challenges with a clear and calm mind, and positive emotions. It also has access to your 5 primary powers.
All you need to paint any canvas is 3 primary colors. Similarly, through factor analysis research it’s been discovered that you only need 5 primary powers: Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate.
For peak performance, you learn to boost all 5 powers and know when to use which power.
3. Saboteurs Interceptor Muscle
Research has shown that there are really only 10 main ways in which we all self-sabotage.
Research also shows that each of us has an active “Judge” Saboteur along with at least one of the “accomplice Saboteurs” (Hyper-Vigilant, Hyper-Achiever, Hyper-Rational, Victim, Stickler, Controller, Restless, Avoider, Pleaser).
Your Saboteurs generate all of your negative emotions, including stress, anxiety, self-doubt, anger, avoidance, procrastination, insensitivity or discontent. Mental fitness requires the ability to intercept and discredit the Saboteurs.
Identifying which of these nasty characters are most active for you and learning skills to turn down the volume on their voices is key.
Is this program right for you?
Do you find yourself…
☐ Saying yes when you want to or need to be saying no?

☐ Not moving forward as fast as you know you can?
☐ Feeling stressed or anxious?

If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, then your Saboteurs may be running the show.
This program to increase your mental fitness, get out of your own way and unlock what’s truly possible for you could be exactly the solution you need.
The Program:
Designed like a mental fitness bootcamp, your app-guided PQ Bootcamp Program provides weekly videos and daily app-guided practice for the insights, motivation, and structure to help you boost your 3 core mental fitness muscles in as little as 2% of your awake time.
What's The Time Commitment?
- Watch one weekly 60-minute video broken down into multiple bite-sized chunks for easy viewing.
- Attend one weekly 45-60 minute coach-facilitated small group pod meeting or 1:1 coaching session via Zoom (based upon selected option).
- Do your short, daily app-guided exercises on your phone that are spaced throughout your day for a total of 20–30 minutes/day.
Feeling like it’s too much time?
Cumulatively, the time requirement for the program constitutes less than 2% of your awake time.
Research shows that your Saboteurs are costing you far more time, energy, and productivity.
Simply investing 2% of your time now for only six-weeks will save you SO MUCH MORE for years to come.

The app tracks your daily progress against minimum targets associated with new neural pathway (muscle) formation and personalizes your practice to combat your own top Saboteurs as identified by the Saboteur Assessment.
Personalized daily tips from Shirzad help you activate your “inner coach” to both encourage and challenge you to keep going. ($380 value)

Pods meet virtually at a time mutually agreed upon, with all Pod members having already watched the weekly video sessions and engaged with daily practice on the PQ App. (priceless)
