"The most fascinating fact presented in this read is that psychologists have discovered that EI (emotional intelligence) is more important than IQ. A high intelligence quotient (IQ) is not a predictor of success. The way we measure intelligence is too narrow. There are different types of intelligence, for example kinesthetic (athletic ability), spatial (design) musical and more. I think we all knew this because there are countless highly successful people without a college degree.
High EI is to understand oneself, the ability to handle adversity, as well as connecting and empathizing with others. You'll find a detailed discussion on emotional intelligence and how it can improve your life, along with concrete techniques and tools to help you increase your EI.
A great personal and business resource."

"This is the third book by this author that I read. His writing is always a good read and helpful. So I was excited to read this one too. And I wasn't disappointed. This is also the second book that I got about Emotional Intelligence and, even with different authors, it compliments the first book.
This book opens with defining what EI is. Emotional Intelligence (EI) represents your relative ability to choose the wisest course of action based on your judgment of your emotions as well as the emotions of others. This is very important for you to succeed both at work and in life. As the book will tell you, EI is now included in the qualifications for success in job and now, even psychologists are saying EI is more important than IQ. Academic intelligence is no longer the predictor of personal success. The benefits of a high EI and cost of low EI are also discussed in the book. This book is written to help you achieve better results in any field.
If you are having trouble relating to people or keeping employees or friends, this book might just be what you need."

"This is an excellent primer on fostering Emotional Intelligence, described in the book as "your relative ability to choose the wisest course of action based on your judgment of your emotions as well as the emotions of others". Mike Acker explains that EI involves five levels of aptitude: self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation, social skills and empathy. It details how to hone the personality qualities to optimize each skill. This book will help readers understand and overcome personal internal obstacles; better connect with, and provide feedback to, colleagues; achieve better collaborative results; and resolve conflict productively, among other benefits. Highly recommended."
