Emotional Intelligence: A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Emotions and Raising Your EQ

by Ian Tuhovsky

Do you believe your life would be healthier, happier and even better, if you had more practical strategies to regulate your own emotions?
Most people agree with that.
Or, more importantly:
Do you believe you'd be healthier and happier if everyone who you live with had the strategies to regulate their emotions?
...Right?

The truth is not too many people actually realize what EQ is really all about and what causes its popularity to grow constantly.

Scientific research conducted by many American and European universities prove that the "common" intelligence responses account for less than 20% of our life achievements and successes, while the other over 80% depends on emotional intelligence. To put it roughly: either you are emotionally intelligent, or you're doomed to mediocrity, at best.
As opposed to the popular image, emotionally intelligent people are not the ones who react impulsively and spontaneously, or who act lively and fiery in all types of social environments.
Emotionally intelligent people are open to new experiences, can show feelings adequate to the situation, either good or bad, and find it easy to socialize with other people and establish new contacts. They handle stress well, say "no" easily, realistically assess the achievements of themselves or others and are not afraid of constructive criticism and taking calculated risks. They are the people of success. Unfortunately, this perfect model of an emotionally intelligent person is extremely rare in our modern times.

Sadly, nowadays, the amount of emotional problems in the world is increasing at an alarming rate. We are getting richer, but less and less happy. Depression, suicide, relationship breakdowns, loneliness of choice, fear of closeness, addictions-this is clear evidence that we are getting increasingly worse when it comes to dealing with our emotions.
Emotional intelligence is a SKILL, and can be learned through constant practice and training, just like riding a bike or swimming!

This book is stuffed with lots of effective exercises, helpful info and practical ideas.
Every chapter covers different areas of emotional intelligence and shows you, step by step, what exactly you can do to develop your EQ and become the better version of yourself.

Very practical book

I’ve tried to read several different books on EI, but found them difficult to follow and did not get many practical advices/exercises. This book was really easy to read and puts everything about EI in practice.

Less about EQ, more about internal self.

The Emotional Intelligence focus of this book is mainly on changing the reader’s internal thoughts and feelings from a mental, almost spiritual perspective. Things like: “Close your eyes and see the color and location of the feeling you experienced.”

The grammar and jokes are also a little awkward or off at times.

To succeed in life Emotional Intelligence is needed, that capacity to feel emotions and direct them. Acceptance, awareness, insight, are the keys to get free from negative emotions like rage, sadness. Suppress our emotions doesn't work. Emotional Intelligence is the capacity to recognize our emotions like that of other people. Self-Awareness, Knowledge of your own limits, self-esteem, empathy, assertiveness, persuasion, leadership, cooperation.

When you think this kind of books., like human behavior and psicology, sometimes can be disappointing, this one though, is very good, you kind place yourself in the different situations and examples and kinda understand yourself even better. In fact I behave smartly and more aware since I read it.

A very practical guide to understanding and improving emotional intelligence, with some good insights. Definitely worth a read, and also worth trying the many exercises in the book - lots of ideas here.

It may not have a scholarly tone, but it's still pretty good. Easy to read and understand. Lots of insightful ideas served with occasional humour - my inner comedian was very pleased! :-)

Great read!

Great way to fully understand emotional intelligence. I couldn't put the book down and read it in a weekend. You will enjoy it

This book provides information on the importance of emotional intelligence, what factors affects emotions, and practical applications on how to effectively manage emotions. The reader will also provide reasons why each application is beneficial which can reassure the reader to attempt the applications even if some of them sound wild.

I have been implementing a handful of applications from this book into my life since I have started this book. Since then till now, I have noticed an elevation in my emotional state. Things and situations that irritated me before no longer affect me the same way. I have the ability to transform an undesired emotional state into a desired emotional state. This revealed to me that not only did some of the applications sound good, when I read about them, it also works good!

[Ckthinks · Rating 2 out of 5]

One of my least favourite features of poor writing is the insistent repetition of what you're going to learn. At least 33% of this book is saying what it will later say, entirely without purpose other than to fill pages. The rest of the book is a selection of nlp exercises taken from better nlp books and blog posts, diluted with anecdotal bullshit. If you want to learn about emotional intelligence dont pick up this book. if you want to learn about nlp pick up a different book.
