EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: THE #1 PREDICTOR OF PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS AND PERSONAL EXCELLENCE

In today's fast-paced world of competitive workplaces and chaotic personal lives, each of us is searching for effective tools that can make our schedules, behaviors, and relationships more manageable. The Emotional Intelligence Quickbook shows us how understanding and utilizing emotional intelligence can be the key to exceeding our goals and achieving our fullest potential.

Authors Bradberry and Greaves use their years of experience as emotional intelligence researchers, consultants, and speakers to revitalize our current understanding of emotional intelligence. They have combined their latest research on emotional intelligence with a quick, easy-to-use format and cut-to-the-chase information to demonstrate how this other kind of "smart" helps us to decrease our stress, increase our productivity, understand our emotions as they happen, and interact positively with those around us.

The Emotional Intelligence Quickbook brings this concept to light in a way that has not been done before -- making EQ practical and easy to apply in every aspect of our daily lives. The Quickbook will help you to:

• Engage the four unique areas of EQ: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management

• Increase your EQ through the use of these skill-building techniques

• Apply your EQ at work to develop leadership skills and improve teamwork, making you a better manager and a more desirable employee

• Practice your EQ outside the office environment to benefit your relationships with loved ones, making you a better partner and parent

• Access the link between your EQ and your physical well-being to improve your overall health

• Measure your current EQ through access to the authors' bestselling online Emotional Intelligence Appraisal

First popularized by Daniel Goleman in his book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, the concept of emotional intelligence is now widely accepted, not only within the psychological arena, but also, ever-increasingly, within the business world. In The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book, authors Bradberry and Greaves outline techniques anyone can use to achieve goals in an easier and more fulfilling way, improve relationships, enhance health, and become more accomplished in the work force. Starting with a discussion on what emotional intelligence (EQ, for short) is and how it impacts our lives, Bardberry and Greaves then provide readers with instructions for determining their own EQ via the book’s companion Web site (the passcode for doing so can be found on the inside of the book’s dust jacket). They also provide a variety of ways readers can increase their EQ and put it to use in their personal and professional lives. Based on research with more than 500,000 people, The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book is exactly that, a quick and easy-to-read resource that empowers readers to master their EQ and more effectively incorporate it into all aspects of their daily lives.

Summary: A must for business
Comment: Emotional intelligence is paramount to success in business and this book opened my eyes to how this all plays out. The authors' connection between emotional intelligence and job performance (and how little EQ senior executives have on average) is fascinating. More importantly, it showed me how to apply my emotional intelligence to get ahead and achieve my goals in life. Great book!

Summary: What's your EQ?
Comment: This is a really fun book. It's a rare thing in that it teaches you about a concept while really teaching you about yourself at the same time. The authors pose interesting questions, anecdotes and research to show you how emotional intelligence operates in the world around you. And the online test that comes with the book is a huge bonus. I was fascinated to discover my emotional intelligence score, and was surprised to see that the test actually provides recommendations for what I can do to improve myself based upon my score profile.

Summary: Opened my eyes to using EI
Comment: I've heard the term emotional intelligence thrown around over the years, but this is the first book that broke it down for me in a palatable manner. It was quick, but not in a bad way. The stories were interesting, the research was poignant and thorough, and the online test was downright fascinating.

I just finished the book last week, and I can already see several ways in which it is having an impact on me at work, as well as with my family. Now that I understand the four, core emotional intelligence skills: self awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management, I find I have so much more control over my life.

This book is a Godsend!
