Essentials of Emotional Intelligence

by John F. Demartini

In Essentials of Emotional Intelligence , Dr. John Demartini puts into perspective how your perceptions affect your reality and why Emotional Intelligence is so important in the achievement of your goals and dreams.

Your emotions are likely based on previous experiences, the subordination to outside ideals and norms that you’re “supposed” to live by, your own personal experiences, the fantasy you have made about your life that you dream about that may not even be real, and the real objectives that you hold inside of you.

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to perceive and interpret the reality of life; respond accordingly with the various well-governed emotions; and measure, manage and use those reasonable emotions for communication, leadership, social development, and more. You must be able to monitor and govern both your perceptions and actions and keep them balanced.

The ancient hermetic teaching said that spirit without matter is expressionless and matter without spirit is emotionless. Matter itself, deals with emotions and spirit itself is unconditional love. Love is not just happiness, love is attraction and repulsion. I like you. I dislike you. Emotions are either positively or negatively charged, such as happiness and sadness, elation and depression, infatuation and resentment.

Learn It’s time to master The Essentials of Emotional intelligence. Let Dr. John Demartini show you how.

A mix of "your true soul is unconditional love" new age woo, useless pep-talk, victim blaming, and just plain bad advice. When I got to the part where he argues that "manipulating people is good" I just about threw the book across the room.

Kept trying to find The Sell of this book and while it's there, Demartini's services are largely free can be done by oneself, so I dunno. Very mixed, take the good, forget the bad. I'm not gonna tell you which is which, you should know the difference.

[Boostamonte Halvorsen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent book, mostly all things we have heard before, but just reiterated and explained slightly better. It isn't going to change your life, but it would be a good reference for when you find yourself struggling. There are some good things to find in here.

[Alex Umsted · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some parts are a little polarizing and insensitive to reality, but overall I really enjoyed it. The fundamentals of understanding your EQ and ways to better it are very helpful. Also gives great prompts for self-reflection, which is always so helpful with self help books.

[Jeroen Visser · Rating 2 out of 5]

Seems like a good book for those with an intact ego, he makes some valid points. And although I know I must've been there, I can't quite recall those feelings. As I'm an introvert and way past my best before date, you might as well disregard my rating.
