Does this book love saying EQ or what?
Emotional Intelligence was a fantastic book. The first half sets up the idea of emotional intelligence and EQ (basically a supposed emotional equivalence to IQ). This part is a bit droll and felt a little like they were trying really hard to validate and justify the book and their teachings and EQ. My personal philosophy, in both mental and emotional intelligence, is that there's no score in a flat, linear plotting that can really indicate someone's intelligence. The last 3/4 of the book is spent going over exact scenarios and tips/tricks to improve on the four sectors of emotional intelligence. This portion of the book is amazing. There's a lot there that's intuitive to most and some that are intuitive for some, maybe not for others. Having them broken up in these sections with specific headers makes them a really useful reference for small and slow improvement. I can see myself looking over these over and over again in the future to tackle specific parts of myself that need improving and really iterating and focusing on those.
