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. Larry Trivieri Jr.

 Helps in dealing with people April 30, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
What I liked best about this book are the practical strategies for understanding how you respond and react to other people, based upon the emotional intelligence skills, and how you can use your EQ to connect with people. If you struggle with difficult conversations and difficult people, this book is a must.

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!
What's your EQ? April 10, 2008

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.

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!

This is a well written concise book on emotional intelligence that should benefit everyone. It teaches techniques that people can employ to enhance their emotional intelligence; on our rational and emotional minds and why it is very important to our careers, our relationships and our destiny.
This insightful book examines emotional intelligence in an easy to follow and understand format which makes the book useful to a wide readership. The book pragmatically examines what emotional intelligence is all about and what it can achieve for individuals and organisations. The author methodically explains how the rational and emotional minds can effectively work productively together. As you go up the corporate ladder, it is critical to know how to manage emotions so that you can relate better with others.
This is not just an academic book but also one that looks at the whole aspect of emotional intelligence to see how it "fits in" with all aspects of life. The book examines all the relevant issues and provides sound, sensible advice succinctly.
The book will change the way you look at life and relate with people. This is particularly the case with people with professional backgrounds that tend to emphasise logic and rationality such as engineers, doctors, mathematicians and the like. It is critical to realise that emotional issues affect the way you work, your motivation, satisfaction and productivity and affect the quality of relationships among spouses or friends. Understanding and embracing EI can make you much happier and more effective as a manager and therefore I recommend this book strongly to anyone who wants to live a happier and successful life.
