Book Description

May 17, 2005
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: THE #1 PREDICTOR OF PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS AND PERSONAL EXCELLENCE

In today's fast-paced world of competitive workplaces and chaotic personal lives, each of us is searching for effective tools that can make our schedules, behaviors, and relationships more manageable. The Emotional Intelligence Quickbook shows us how understanding and utilizing emotional intelligence can be the key to exceeding our goals and achieving our fullest potential.

Authors Bradberry and Greaves use their years of experience as emotional intelligence researchers, consultants, and speakers to revitalize our current understanding of emotional intelligence. They have combined their latest research on emotional intelligence with a quick, easy-to-use format and cut-to-the-chase information to demonstrate how this other kind of "smart" helps us to decrease our stress, increase our productivity, understand our emotions as they happen, and interact positively with those around us.

The Emotional Intelligence Quickbook brings this concept to light in a way that has not been done before -- making EQ practical and easy to apply in every aspect of our daily lives. The Quickbook will help you to:

  • Engage the four unique areas of EQ: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management

  • Increase your EQ through the use of these skill-building techniques

  • Apply your EQ at work to develop leadership skills and improve teamwork, making you a better manager and a more desirable employee

  • Practice your EQ outside the office environment to benefit your relationships with loved ones, making you a better partner and parent

  • Access the link between your EQ and your physical well-being to improve your overall health

  • Measure your current EQ through access to the authors' bestselling online Emotional Intelligence Appraisal

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. Larry Trivieri Jr.

Review

"Research shows convincingly that EQ is more important than IQ in almost every role and many times more important in leadership roles. This finding is accentuated as we move from the control philosophy of the industrial age to an empowering release philosophy of the knowledge worker age. Self-awareness, self-motivation, and regulation are foundational to empathy and social skills. This book gives abundant, practical findings and insights with emphasis on how to develop EQ."

-- Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness



"All sentient beings possess awareness, but among them human beings possess great intelligence. Subject to a constant stream of positive and negative thoughts and emotions, what distinguishes us as human beings is that we are capable of positive change. The Emotional Intelligence Quickbook succinctly explains how to deal with emotions creatively and employ our intelligence in a beneficial way."

-- the Dalai Lama



"If you're wondering why your career is stalled or plateaued -- or if you simply want to get on the fast track to the next level -- this book is a must-read...."

-- Lois P. Frankel, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author, Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, but Emotional Intelligence 2.0 is better, April 24, 2010
This review is from: The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book (Hardcover)
Though I enjoyed this book, I don't see why anyone would read it now that the authors have released Emotional Intelligence 2.0. Whereas this book introduces you to emotional intelligence (EQ), Emotional Intelligence 2.0 does the same and then goes much further by showing you how to increase your EQ through a step-by-step process and 66 strategies. In Emotional Intelligence 2.0 you also get access to an updated version of the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal test. The new test actually helps you improve your EQ by analyzing your score profile and pinpointing the strategies that will increase your EQ the most. You can also take the new test twice, to see how your EQ has improved with time. Oh ya, the new book is also $5 cheaper.

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

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