Today we know there is more to success than intelligence. Brain research and the study of achievement provide unmistakable proof that our path in life is not dictated solely by IQ. The Quickbook is a fascinating and persuasive discovery that EQ is not fixed from birth. It teaches how to take action with each of the four EQ skills: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management.

Each book includes a unique code to go online and try the best-selling emotional intelligence test, The Emotional Intelligence Appraisalâ„¢. This scientifically-validated assessment gives you an in-depth look at your EQ, and teaches new skills using clips from Hollywood movies, television, and historical events.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Disappointing given the ratings and reviews
Comment: I bought this book for four reasons: 1. Rave reviews here, 2. Intro by Patrick Lencioni, 3. Review by Dalai Lama, and 4. that the work is based on lots of research.

While I agree that the book is easy to read, I did not experience much substance in the book, and I think it only provided a very basic introduction to Emotional Intelligence. Given all the research the authors clamim to have done, there is not much analysis or explanation of what the research means. The 2nd star in this rating comes from the self-assessment.

There are many other books on EQ out there (Goleman for example) that provide much more substance and depth.

Summary: Top of the field
Comment: The Quickbook is the only book on emotional intelligence that is compelling. I found the book easy to read and understand and had success introducing it in my company. I'm looking forward to obtaining the new edition in a few months when it is published by Simon and Schuster.

Summary: Helps with my diet
Comment: I bought the book to help with my diet because I've noticed that my emotions and what I do with them has a big effect upon when I eat and what I eat. Emotional intelligence was extremely helpful in understanding what to do with my feelings on the rough days, and is making the diet go much better. I thought the online emotional intelligence test that came with the book is neat.
