Summary: Something we all need to know
Date: 2008-10-09 - 
Comment: I was given this book in a training program and, to be perfectly honest, I don't normally read the books they give us. My company does a great deal of leadership training, and sometimes it's just too much as we're in the financial industry (the better part of it!) and working hard these days. Anyhow, this book sucked me right in. The anecdotes and stories are powerful illustrations of emotional intelligence at work. The book teaches you what EQ is and then it shows you emotional intelligence in action in the real world. This is quite motivating, and it's nice because the book follows with strategies you can use to increase your emotional intelligence and a test you take online that shows you what your EQ is, what your strengths are, and what you need to work on.

Comment: I'm a big fan of the Dalai Lama and noticed that he liked this book and wrote a blurb for it. So, I gave it a try and got a lot out of it. It's a very practical book that shows you how to understand and manage your emotions, how to read other people, and how to connect better with those you care about and those you work with. It's the kind of book you go back to and reference after you read it. Highly recommended.

Summary: Shows you how to manage your emotions
Date: 2008-10-01 - 
Comment: This is a special book. In addition to illustrating how emotional intelligence works and why it is important, it showed me how I can identify my emotions accurately in the moment and respond to them more effectively. The techniques are quite easy to apply, and I am already managing the destructive emotions better. A must read for people who are looking to get ahead at work and/or get along better with a spouse or loved ones.

Summary: A very powerful book
Date: 2008-09-26 - 
Comment: Wow! Emotional intelligence really packs a punch! It is an amazing skill set that has a tremendous impact upon what we do and say each day. I learned a lot from this book about how emotional intelligence works and also how I can improve and use it to my advantage. The online test that comes with the book is outstanding! Very informative and such a nice addition to provide with a book.
I came across this book when I read Squawk!: How to Stop Making Noise and Start Getting Results by the same author. I enjoyed Squawk! a lot (it's about leadership) and really see the connection to emotional intelligence. They are very complimentary and both very helpful books. Highly recommended!
