Fabulous
What a great read. The Emotional Intelligence Quickbook puts the possibilities for success in such simple terms. This book is exactly what people need in order to better themselves at work and at home. I, like most people, encounter frustrating situations all the time in the fast-paced environment we live in today. As I read this book, I developed new insight into how I can improve my relationship skills and reach my goals in life. I urge you to do the same if you want to increase your personal and professional success.

Boost your EQ
If you had to select the person you think is "most likely to succeed," how would you go about making your choice? According to authors Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves, you'd miss the mark if you based your choice on educational achievement, intelligence or experience. The main criteria, instead, is a set of social skills known as "emotional intelligence (EQ)" that helps people interact effectively. When you're emotionally intelligent, your emotions work for - not against - you, and you are respectful and mindful of other peoples' feelings. Even the most emotionally challenged people can boost their EQs by practicing the skills this book outlines. It offers specific examples of how to bring emotional intelligence to bear in a variety of situations at home and at work. getAbstract recommends this book to those who want to use emotional intelligence effectively.
