These for dummies books where everywhere when I was growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s. They’re always great to help you along and whatever hobby or interest grab at the time. Internet may have been homes, but that didn’t mean had the resources to help you with everything you need to know. Then and now they do never had the trusted resource that you can count on in these for dummies books. But since these books read as a first step lot of the times it kind of takes away from the reins be earned reading these books nowadays.

I found a large chuck of information in this was standard knowledge that could be easily need to verify if it is confirmed by expert or not. Stuff like the breathe the method wall extremely helpful can be explained in the quick Google search of how to calm yourself when mad I didn’t need to stay a long portion of the book diving into these minor parts.

I still think for dummies are great and is resource I should use more often. But I can easily see now why these books are not nearly as popular as they once were.

Good start but over indulged into EQ for various specific conditions (too much detail for me) also little scattered and many facets overlapped and intertwined

[Hugo Demets]

Anders dan de klassieker van Daniel Goleman over emotionele intelligentie, is dit geen theoretisch boek maar wel een werkboek. Je leest dit stukje bij stukje en doet ondertussen oefeningen om je emotionele intelligentie (nog verder) te verbeteren.
Emotionele intelligentie (EI) helpt je om beter met mensen om te gaan, en ook om productiever te zijn op het werk.
Het boek is in verschillende delen opgesplitst. In het eerste leer je wat emotionele intelligentie is, en in het tweede deel dring je tot de kern van het begrip, en de verschillende componenten ervan.
Deel drie gaat over emotionele intelligentie op het werk, emotioneel intelligent leidinggeven, en een emotioneel intelligent team samenstellen.
Het vierde deel gaat over het gebruiken van je emotionele intelligentie in relaties, je eigen EI gebruiken bij het opvoeden van kinderen en het zelf emotioneel intelligent maken van je kind. Tenslotte geeft deel vijf nog eens een overzicht van alle componenten van EI die in het boek aan bod kwamen.
De opzet van het boek betekent ook dat je dit boek niet snel uit hebt. Nadat je de tekst helemaal hebt gelezen, moet je er mee aan de slag. Het boek raadt je aan om een dagboek bij te houden met je emotionele ervaringen. Wil je echt aan je emotionele intelligentie werken, met boek en dagboek bij de hand, ben je één à twee maanden op weg, wat immers de gemiddelde tijd is die je nodig hebt om aspecten van je gedrag te veranderen.

Na eerst het boek van Goleman gelezen te hebben, vind ik dit een veel duidelijker en praktischer boek.

The book I read to research this post was Emotional Intelligence For Dummies by Steven J Stein which is a very good book which I read at http://safaribooksonline.com

Emotional Intelligence is a form of intelligence that is your ability to empathize with people and read their emotions and adapt accordingly. This is a relatively new branch of psychology and although society tends to measure intelligence in terms of academic performance there are quite a few other branches of intelligence, many of which are often largely. Another example of intelligence is spatial intelligence which is the ability to judge things in relation to your body and often comes into being good at sport. People with a low emotional intelligence are more prone to divorce and problems in general with getting along with people. To a certain extent you can work on and improve emotional intelligence but it is partially innate and is also influenced by childhood experiences, in particular whether or not your parents encouraged you to develop at what you were good at. At one time psychologists thought it was important to experience extreme emotions as part of your development but they think the ability to read emotions in other people is more important. There is a website at http://pearsonassessments.com where you can test your emotional intelligence in various tests. I haven't looked at the site as yet but it is mentioned in the book. A lot of companies use personality tests on potential employees and made big savings in staff turnover. Often a company has to train someone to do a job which costs money and if they can retain that person in that job they are saving money. Also many careers advisory centres use these tests to help people find the right career. I did really enjoy this book & I think it's an interesting topic.

Useful guide for understanding Emotional Intelligence. I suggest this for anyone who'd like to learn more about how to interact with different types of people. There are many who are in need of support, but you can better help if you know how to approach each person individually.

I had to read this book for a class, but I believe there's a lot of useful information that just about anyone seeking to strengthen their relationships (work, home or otherwise) could benefit from. Not my usual reading, but it can be done in small spurts.

[Roberto Bovina]

Recognizing an emotionally unintelligent person: people with low emotional intelligence have a scarce awareness. They don't realize not being in harmony with their surrounding. They have no idea how to face others. They have no self-control, no social abilities, lack empathy. This kind of person is an enemy for himself. Often, they are unhappy and have no ability to solve their problems. Generally, unintelligent people: become angry, or anxious, without even knowing why. They tend to ignore the impression they make, not understanding other's feelings. They are egocentric, they lose control. They hardly can maintain their relationships.
Emotional Intelligence is centered on the ability to manage your own like other people's emotions. You can be an intelligent person without having emotional awareness, empathy, or social abilities.
Areas and factors of emotional and social intelligence: Interpersonal, self-awareness, independence, self-esteem, empathy, social responsibility, relationships, adaptability, stress management, mood, optimism, happiness.

I listened to this as an audiobook. I think that the Dummies genre is better read in book form so that you can see the examples and skip around easily. The audio book format is a bit boring in the for this content and how it might be best absorbed by the average reader. Now on to the content. This isn't my first book on EI. I didn't get as much from this book as I have with other books on the topic but would be a fine introduction to EI.

This book is a good overview of Emotional Intelligence and how you can increase yours. In each chapter, the author encourages you to think about and answer his questions in a journal to better yourself.

The section about identifying your emotions is the one that sticks with me the most. I will continue to review the list of emotions so that I can better understand exactly what I am feeling and how to use "rich emotional vocabulary" to describe my feelings.

[Crystal Furgerson]

Digging into your emotions can be difficult. Understanding emotions even more so. Steven J. Stein takes a deep dive into emotions in his book Emotional Intelligence for Dummies. You’ll gain an understanding of emotions and steps to become emotionally intelligent. He gives advise for handling emotions in work, life, and parenting. Check it out!

I recommend this book whether you are new to the concept of EQ or a seasoned professional. Even when we think we know a lot, there is always more to learn about EQ. I really liked the self-assessments and activities, as they are practical and relatable. Additionally, the concepts are explained in a straightforward manner, making them easy to understand without unnecessary jargon.

[Sally]

This book was recommended by a tutor to assist in clinical practice. I feel a lot of the suggestions were geared towards people who were perhaps not from the caring professions and made some sections feel boring as they were basic. Some good exercises and points to muse

[Natalie]

Exactly what it says on the cover, this is a book on emotional intelligence.

There are activities in sections.

I've listened to this as an audible and downloaded the info sheets for the activities.

I did lose attention whilst listening to it, and re listened to chapters.

[Steve Lourenço]

Good book , to learn more social skills. It gives some solutions if you are a impulsive person and also a lot of tips to solve problems if you are in bad terms with friends and others.

[Luciane]

Um livro raso (superficial) nível de conceitos, promete mais do que entrega com demasiadas técnicas repetidas para vários exemplos.

[Arvin آذرگین]

در زمینه هوش هیجانی کتابهای بهتری هست و ترجمه خوبی هم ندارد

[Цветелина Янкова]

Прочетох първите 100 страници с огромна мъка! Дори няма да си губя времето да в до премета до края! Изключително безинтересно написана, не успях да извлека абсолютно нищо полезно!

[فيّ . . . .]

I listened to this book, and it is so good for beginners
it gave be some basics concept to build on

[Grunge SeaBunny]

Idk why but this just had weird vibes

[André Antunes]

This type of books it's nice, always we learn something.

[MK]

I could know the difference between "empathy" and "sympathy".

[Mark Roossinck]

Generally helpful in understanding emotional intelligence! There was too much detail for my needs, but the author makes it practical for all kinds of situations.

[J. Schmidt]

This is a very good read on emotional intelligence. Easy to follow, many practical examples and exercises and tons of useful ideas. I have read several other books on EQ/EI including other books by the author. Of course there is a lot of overlap, but every so often there are some new and interesting points. I can recommend this book to people who want a great and easily understandable introduction to EQ. Also, there are interesting chapters on EQ in certain situations (e.g. EQ in the workplace, at home, as a parent, in intimate relationships...)

[Jessica Spencer]

Emotional Intelligence used to be called "Emotional Regulation". It is a good therapy for people who are empaths (like me) or people with PTSD who have anger issues.
It gives some good ideas on how to combat the emotions taking over your life. I learned a lot. Worth the read.

[wly]

Good read on the basics of EI. Personally prefer this to Daniel Goleman's books.

if you are hopeless at controlling your emotions, voila your bible.
