Emotional Intelligence in a Week: Teach Yourself
Developing your emotional intelligence just got easier
Experts are beginning to agree that types of intelligence other than IQ (Intelligence Quotient) have evolved as human capacities over the last two million years. Low Emotional Intelligence Quotient or EQ can be perceived as the absence of control over the outcome of a situation. Do you ever feel like this is the case - you keep getting 'poor luck' or cannot influence better results? When you have a high EQ, you are adept at interpreting the emotional roots of your thinking and behaviours and choosing your actions for beneficial outcomes. You may also be capable of making good insights into the behaviours and reactions of others through empathy and rapport.
These topics are explored, step by step in Emotional Intelligence In A Week . You will gain an understanding of EI through finding out
- Pessimism and optimism

- Measurement of EQ - a list of assessments
- Identifying the benefits of 'emotional fitness'
- How EI is learnable

This book wasn't too bad. Emotional intelligence in a week, that sounds do-able, right? Some of this information I already knew from reading other similar (and some might say, better) books on the subject. It went into some detail about why we do what we do in a physical brain kinda way. It was also based on emotional intelligence in the workplace. From my point of view of using this is a tool to increase my EI personally, and considering I am not a manager within an organisation, these particular chapters were not of use to me - however if you are a manager in an organisation that believes could use a crash course in emotional intelligence, this short book is a great read.

Nuts and bolts are there. The weekly (day by day) breakdown format was unnecessary and somewhat confusing.
Good content, though. For a newbie at EQ concept this would be a sufficient read.
