Summary This book shows us how understanding and utilizing emotional intelligence can be the key to exceeding our goals and achieving our fullest potential. The authors use their 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 book brings this concept to light in a way that has not been done before by making EQ practical and easy to apply in every aspect of our daily lives.
