Summary

We have all had experiences with people that prove that those with the highest IQs are not always the most successful. What could these very smart people be missing? Chances are it's emotional intelligence (EQ) - the ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions in ourselves and others.

Sounds very powerful, doesn't it? Could we really manage our own emotions, as opposed to having our emotions run the show? Could we really effect change in the emotions of our coworkers or family members? The answer to all these questions is a resounding "yes".

Whether or not you understand your emotions and their resultant behaviors, they leave their impacts like footprints - for better or worse - all over the situations and people with whom you interact throughout your life, as well as affecting your cognition, decision-making, and physical body. And while some aspects of your EQ are inherited, the vast majority of EQ skills can be acquired at any age. In Boosting Your Emotional Intelligence, Dr. Jason Satterfield shares how to identify and regulate your own emotions, how to manage emotions in others, a step-by-step process for building your own interactive Skills Tracker to improve your personal EQ, and where to find numerous resources to improve your EQ as an ongoing, unlimited learning experience.

With the tools and skills you gather from this exciting course, you will be able to improve your emotional intelligence now and throughout your life - using your emotions as you want, to help you reach your own personal goals

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Interesting

I found it very interesting but the movie bits got on my nerves 😬
Whilst the interviews were a major part of the lectures and served as good examples I found myself zooming out during those. I thought the audiobook would be easier but turns out it wasn’t easy to concentrate on it in order to fully understand I actually had to re listen to parts often as I would zone out or sleep 😴
Saying that, the content, in writing, would be worth reading for sure.

Probably better to read than to listen to

A lot of good tips and pieces of advice, but so much so that I felt I should have paused to take some notes. Therefore would recommend to maybe read it so you can highlight passages that you find useful rather than just listening then forgetting...

Jason M.Satterfield makes everything make sense.

This is a great insight into EQ and has helped me explore other avenues of the whole concept.
The repeating message at the end of each lecture is very annoying and patronising - only needs to be at the beginning and end of the whole collection of lectures.

Really helpful. I was sceptical, but there was a lot of useful information. It is geared towards neurotypical people, and assumes typicality, but it is a good starting point and I took away a lot of ideas from it.
