Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

First popularized by Daniel Goleman in his book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, the concept of emotional intelligence is now widely accepted, not only within the psychological arena, but also, ever-increasingly, within the business world. In The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book, authors Bradberry and Greaves outline techniques anyone can use to achieve goals in an easier and more fulfilling way, improve relationships, enhance health, and become more accomplished in the work force. Starting with a discussion on what emotional intelligence (EQ, for short) is and how it impacts our lives, Bardberry and Greaves then provide readers with instructions for determining their own EQ via the book’s companion Web site (the passcode for doing so can be found on the inside of the book’s dust jacket). They also provide a variety of ways readers can increase their EQ and put it to use in their personal and professional lives. Based on research with more than 500,000 people, The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book is exactly that, a quick and easy-to-read resource that empowers readers to master their EQ and more effectively incorporate it into all aspects of their daily lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good coaching tool, February 25, 2006

By	Pamela A. Ostrom "Life Transformation Coach" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book (Hardcover)

I use this book and the online EQ appraisal as a coaching tool in my consulting work with managers and professionals. It's easy to read and gives us a common language for discussing key points about emotional intelligence. I especially like the self-assessment of personal and social competence as a non-threatening way to help people identify destructive reationship behaviors and create strategies to improve their abiltiy to relate to others. A simple, practical and useful approach to the topic of emotional intelligence.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy the Kindle edition, December 21, 2008

By	SDA - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book: Everything You Need to Know to Put Your EQ to Work (Kindle Edition)

When you buy the Kindle edition of this book, you do not receive a code to take the emotional intelligence appraisal. On hardcover editions, this code is on the reverse side of the dust jacket. While the book does say that it is not absolutely necessary to take the appraisal, I would like to have the option of taking it or not. I contacted customer service about this issue and the reply was they try to ensure that the kindle edition is as close as possible to the original, but sometimes there are differences.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book of Choice, May 13, 2005

By	Marc Muchnick "drmmunch" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book (Hardcover)

While the concept of emotional intelligence has gained popularity in recent years, there has been a void of hands-on information suitable for audiences beyond the research community. The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book is the perfect solution: easy to digest, entertaining, and informative with plenty of take home value. This book has goodness of fit for both the business audience and the mass market of readers who seek to learn more about themselves and how they can improve their lives through an understanding of EQ. I particularly like the free assessment that comes with the book. I commend Bradberry and Greaves for this practical, groundbreaking book and will strongly recommend it to others.
