A simple basic guide...
Ever since Peter Salovey (Yale) and John Mayer (New Hampshire) first coined the term "Emotional Intelligence" (EQ) in 1990, much has been researched and written about what EQ is, how it works, and what you can do to improve it.
Emotional intelligence is a valuable skill, because it means you know how to work with all kinds of people, understand them and get along with them. Once you understand emotional intelligence, you can see the people around you who have it, and those who don't: at work, in politics, in the media and in your neighborhood.
Emotional Intelligence: Why it is Crucial for Success in Life and Business by James W. Williams is a quick read that introduces the basic concepts regarding emotional intelligence. Useful nuggets of information are to be found within the pages, but it’s far from an authoritative read. Simple, basic but interesting.

What the hell was that?
The basic ideas are sound as far as they go. However, this is just a short book that serves as an ad for another book. I read it in about 10 minutes, and that was with stopping to try some really oddly worded and poorly punctuated sentences.
Don’t bother.

Quick read. I would summarize as just a surface level look at emotional intelligence. According to the author, the reward for becoming emotionally intelligent is popularity in your workplace and personal lives.

Very quick and easy to read. While I don't agree with everything the author shared, there are some interesting points in this teaser book, especially for those who have just been introduced to the concept of emotional intelligence.

There are some good pointers here and the book goes a straight to the point but is not very in depth and could have used more examples. It’s almost 70% “why emotional intelligence is important” and only 30% on how to improve emotional intelligence.

in every negative feedback there is usually a grain of truth. A
I truly enjoyed reading this book. James has taken time to unpack what is often presented as a complicated concept into a simple yet practical book. James spares you from scientific data and jumps straight into the value add and practical tips to emotional intelligence development.

“Emotional Intelligence” promises to teach readers to manage their emotions and improve relationships in just “7 simple steps.” The book is written in a light, friendly style, making it accessible to a wide audience. For beginners, the idea of “making friends with your emotions” may feel like a revelation, and the suggested exercises are genuinely practical. For those who’ve read Goleman or studied basic psychology, however, the material will feel oversimplified and derivative. The strength of the book lies in its simplicity and hands-on approach. Its weakness is banality: a profound subject like emotional intelligence is reduced to a convenient checklist that’s easy to read but hard to take seriously.

Thank you for giving me confidence all while reading.I'm a better person and have now found what areas in my life that needed to be improved. I feel I had the chance to do that while reading this book today.

Excellent advise to help understand Emotional Intelligence
"To become good at understanding others, you first have to be able to understand yourself. So, even the emotions you don't really want to feel should be addressed, processed, and let go."
Short, but effective read. I highlighted so much helpful advice throughout this book. Would recommend it to others. You can finish it in one sitting.

Very basic
The book can provide helpful information for someone who has never tried to understand and relate to the feelings of others. However, for anyone who knows what emotional intelligence is and has some degree of skill/talent, but you want to get better, skip this book. It will read like basic common sense to those of us who are either naturally this way or have worked at it for a bit.

A Good Appetizer For EQ
Emotional intelligence isn’t just for “smart people” this short work is enough to whet your appetite for a concept and practice that is more important than it has ever been. The only danger in this work is that if one were to only ready this and not further research the concept they might never fully reach a higher level of Emotional Intelligence or increase their EQ. It’s worth your time and attention.

A Quick Guide on Emotional Intelligence
This book serves as a quick reminder to help you become further aware of your emotions as well as those around you. Unfortunately, not many people believe, or are even aware that emotional intelligence is important. As a result, many people fail to realize its true value in the workplace as well as in other areas of their lives.

Not worthy
There are some plain truths in there, but also some false statements presented as facts and those can be very harmful, especially for the inexperienced readers. Phrasing is often clunky or repetitive. Besides, it's more of a teaser to a larger book, but after reading this one, I wouldn't trust the other one, either.

Nothing spectacular about this. Someone else left a review that I found fitting, saying it seems like this book is just a really good advertisement for his other books. I shouldn't complain, as I received this free from GoodReads, however, I expected more from this. Maybe I will give some of his other works a chance, maybe not.

Balancing perspectives
It was a short book to be sure but filled with deep insight into building emotional maturity. This skill is not just required for the business professional but anyone who wishes to be a better person in his or her personal and professional spaces. To be a better student of the human condition. A very good read, better if you can take the truism to heart.

Great read
I absolutely enjoyed this book. I plan to take some of what I read by applying it to my professional and private relationships. I read in some cases I can respond to certain situations when I stop talking, calm down, process positively and discussed in more of a fashionable manner.
Love it, thank you!!! 😁

i enjoyed this short-but-fruitful book. got it for free on Google Playbook (thx google). someone who's familiar with "baper" term should consider its term because emotion is necessary to feel and to understand.

Quick and easy read - read it in one morning session.
Doesn’t delve deep into anything specific gives just a taster session really on emotional intelligence, good for someone interested in it or as an introduction.

This is my 2nd book on emotional intelligence, very informative and precisely explained the things in a simple manner. Give it a try and you will find it very helpful.

This read like a high school paper. A lot of word vomit, rash statements that weren’t backed up nor elaborated on. Over all an extremely basic and longed out definition of the term less of a list of how tos

Basic
Quite shallow if you have read other work or even if you have done some thinking on the subject. To me it was at the surface summary or bullet points but too basic to actually teach me anything on emotional intelligence.

Absolutely Helpful for this time in my life. I feel like we've started a new journey; my boyfriend and I.
This book is the beginning of helpfulness leading to the reading of other books by the same author, to continue this river of change in me and my relationships.

Amazing book!
Before reading this book, I had no idea emotional intelligence existed. This book has improved my life in many ways. Raising my EQ made it possible to move to the next level of success. This is definitely a book I must recommend to all family and friends.

Decent Overview of EQ
Not much different from other books in the genre. If you are picking the first book in the EQ segment then this book is a brief read and brings all the relevant info to the fore.

Good short overview
This was a quick read about Emotional intelligence. It is nice to see a small volume before desiring to get deep into this topic. It was a good review for me to read and if I want more I know where to go!
