About this listen

From the author of the best-selling Mindfulness: Be Mindful. Live in the Moment, Emotional Intelligence is fast becoming the skill to master that will unlock your true potential.

You''ve probably noticed that it's not the smartest people that are the most successful or the most fulfilled in life; being clever, talented, or skilled is not enough. It's your ability to manage your feelings, other people, and your interactions with them that makes the difference. We're all born with this ability - emotional intelligence is a skill, and we all have the capacity to develop this skill.

This book will show you how. It will change the way you think about emotions. Instead of thinking of emotions as being positive or negative, you will learn that all emotions have a positive intent - all emotions have our best interests in mind.

Improve your emotional intelligence and you improve your ability to understand and manage emotions. You can think clearly and creatively, manage stress and challenges, communicate well with others and display trust, empathy, and confidence. You will be in a better position to handle situations, events, and other people that in the past you've found difficult or stressful.

Emotional Intelligence will show you how to heighten your EQ and improve your personal and work life. You can learn how to be more assertive and confident; to express how you feel, what you want and don't want; understand what others are feeling and forge stronger relationships; manage office politics and navigate the social complexities of the workplace; manage anxiety, anger, and disappointment; deal with bullying and inspire others!

An excellent practical primer

Emotional intelligence was a new thing when I worked in people development and the new ‘experts’ kept it as a pseudo science. This book is simple and practical and should be a school book.

Go with the flow

After listening to Mindfulness I decided to listen to Emotional Intelligence.Gill Hasson talks about your emotions: anger and disappointment etc. Instead of using the word YOU indicating blame use the word I instead as people will get less defensive.

Was really a 3.75

Good but I’m glad it was free. Last chapter was the most engaging. Was interesting but I’ve heard things explained in more interesting ways.

This isn’t a book on EQ.

This isn’t a book on EQ. It is a self help book on managing unproductive emotions, and not a very good one at that. Author seems to have a very limited understanding of what EQ is.

Book is full of patronising material that these kinds of modern self help books are full of, such as “Smiling means someone is happy” wow thanks I never thought of looking at someone’s face before.

“It’s good to talk. It’s a good way to communicate.” Another quality piece of advice. Now I know why my colleagues aren’t responding to the hieroglyph messages I’ve been leaving them.

There is also some very fishy information given, like “Your posture can increase your testosterone 19%” WHAT?! I’d like to see the study that came from because if it’s true every bodybuilder would spend all day in that pose. I’m calling total BS on that.

In short a very shallow, repetitive work full of very obvious methods to help manage emotions. I couldn’t bring myself to give it 1 star but 2 stars does feel very generous. If you want to learn about EQ try The Great Courses, Boosting your emotional Intelligence.
