Developing our Emotional Intelligence enables us to boost our intelligence in a useful way. As we are better able to take back control over our emotions and feelings we do not fly off the handle as much and we tend to think before we speak. This is so immeasurably useful and is key to improving our relationships and getting what we want.

As we improve our self-awareness we also heighten our honesty and empathy and acquire more balance in our lives.

Better than IQ, this form of intelligence allows us to be more likely to be promoted and popular.

Hard to follow, not as enlightening as Goleman's books.
