Jennifer’s Reviews > Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ > Status Update

I appreciate the focus on hope and optimism, and why a certain subset of pessimists are so fucking draining—they feel no need to change. “I’m a failure. I’ll never amount to anything. Life’s unfair.” Enter apathy, malaise, depression, despair, and the abdication of agency that renders them helpless, ego-bound, and entitled. I do what I want! Who cares about you! I’m the victim! Me. ME. MEEE!

Ew. No.
