When I read a concept multiple times, it helps me remember it better and also put it to practice more confidently. For example, this book emphasizes self-awareness as the first and the foremost concept towards a higher EQ. Ms. Kelly McGonigal has said 'Without self-awareness, self-control is useless.' in The Willpower Instinct: There are some very simple and easy to practice self-awareness strategies. I could relate to a good number of them. The author discusses self-reflection as one of the strategies in knowing yourself. I personally have been practicing (only to some extent) to answer the following questions - What am I feeling?, Why am I feeling it?, and What should I do about it? - should definitely start doing it more.Relationship management strategies are explained so one can employ them not only with colleagues but in their personal lives as well. The 'Be Open and Be Curious' and 'Take feedback well' strategies sound relatively simple while the 'Only get mad on purpose' is clearly the more challenging one.Now for the downs. Page 31 gives a picture of IQ, EQ and Personality. It quotes: "Of the three, EQ is the only quality that is flexible and able to change." I'm not very sure of this statement. I've read a few articles online where experts are talking about how personalities changes occur over time. Proper brain training has also shown an improved IQ. The book itself mentions "'Plasticity' is the term neurologists use to describe the brain’s ability to change." on page 74 clearly contradicting its previous statement. Normam Doidge gives many examples of how people changed their entire lives because of a 'plastic' brain in his book - The Brain That Changes Itself. Now, if the author meant to say 'EQ is the easiest to change among them' - that is a different ball game altogether.And yes, as others mentioned, the ebook version lacks the code required to take the test.
While authors Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves do present an opportunity to the reader to empower herself through real self-help in their guide, Emotional Intelligence 2.0, the book is too shamelessly superficial in its coverage of its subject as well as too limited in the range of situations addressed to be a worthwhile investment of time for anyone seeking to make substantial changes in her emotional approach to life. On the positive side, it does provide refreshingly concrete steps people can take to deal with problems that fall within the purview of Bradberry and Graves's concept of "EQ," which is expressly delineated as consisting of four elements in the book, namely: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management. Each element is set forth with a list of well over ten specific easy-to-try strategies to improve ones aptitude in that element. I haven't yet, but I definitely mean to try some out. Couldn't hurt, right?On the negative side, the book comes off as gimmicky and superficial -- at least to this reader. For example, the field of action to apply EQ is taken for granted as the corporate world, and success therein -- in particular higher salaries -- are unabashedly equated with the value of increasing EQ and its application in the reader's life. In other words, the book seems to start from the assumption money is the goal of exercising EQ at least in part -- making oneself and others comfortable and happier is not treated as an end in itself. More dangerous because it is less explicit is the blatant lack of contextualization of such "fascinating findings" as this: "Women and men have the same average self-awareness score, while men score higher in self-management and women score higher in social awareness and relationship management."It seems to me that presented thusly such "fascinating" discoveries lack credibility, significance to the topic at hand (e.g. how the individual reader can improve), and worst of all, can simply reify gendered social stereotypes rather than help people break out of their individual molds (e.g. the readers' particular weaknesses, stereotyped behaviors, stereotyped reads of their behaviors). This idea is far from fresh, and as I just suggested, it isn't fleshed out in this book at all. The use of such figures seems superficial and undermines any possible value to an academic audience I would think (not that that is the primary goal here obviously -- just an observation)... OK, that should be enough negative discourse for one review (sorry)! Bottom line: This is a problematic book that clearly stuck in my craw, BUT it does have some concrete strategies and tips which are worth perusing to deal with specific difficulties in the covered areas of social functioning. Thanks for reading. Please be advised I read a free copy obtained through a Goodreads giveaway.
Ridiculous and shallow to the point of being offensive. Goleman's first book on emotional intelligence was good. This one is crap.
The online test is a joke. The questions are so dependent on the way you see yourself and your behaviour, that even an emotional idiot could come up with a very high QE if that's how he sees himself!

This is one of those books that keeps popping up on the Goodreads giveaway page, and while I have never won a copy, I decided to pick it up when I glanced it on the shelf at my local library.What is Emotional Intelligence? Apparently, it's a rating of how you apply your emotions to your daily life, similar to the way your Intelligence Quotient rates, well, intelligence. In fact, it is surprisingly called "EQ" in order to relate itself to IQ, even though it seems to me that it should then be called "Emotional Quotient."After finding out about EQ and how it affects various aspects of your life, the writers go over some proven strategies that will help the reader improve the different elements of their Emotional Intelligence; Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management. All four are important for a healthy EQ, and unlike IQ, which is a number that cannot be changed, EQ just takes some practice using the techniques laid out in this book.Now, apparently there is some online quiz the reader can take with a special code provided in the back of the book, this being a library copy, the code was already revealed and, I'm assuming, used. However, knowing myself I know there are certain aspects of my EQ that need work, and several strategies mentioned seem like they might be of some help, so I'll give them a try.
Much more interesting as the book goes on. The beginnings examples were utterly exhausting, the later information, much more engaging.
I loved the insights offerred into the power of EQ
Filled with many useful tips for effective team and personal leadership.
The book is great,it gives clear and practical examples making eq an easy topic to understand
I learnt ways to deal with my anger. Great book!
I felt like this needed the book to provide the most pay off. The test is also important to know where you stand. I have ordered the book and look forward to improving going forward with it.
Good examples describing Emotional Intelligence. Online narrator was easy to comprehend.
An awesome book about something I knew exists but beautiful put into context and explained.
incredibly informative and actionable. Easy to understand and apply. I am going to practice these strategies at work and in my personal life. I highly recommend.
Super practical book and great insights with EQ topic. Definitely a must read nor just for people in the work force but every body.
Extremely boring and painful to listen at times! The reader kept reading as if he was the gender in order to have intonation and emphasis differences. It was just awful.
I really wanted to like this book, but it was really hard to focus on what was being said. Many of the examples related to someone in a co--working environment, which is not my experience since I am a business owner.
Also the cliches were over the top. Really quite disappointed with this one, and I am moving onto another book that focuses on EQ.

Very vague even the subject is interesting I found the approach not that interesting
Good listen but there are limited actions without buying the book.
The code to the appraisal link would have made the difference. Key lessons were learnt nonetheless. It's a good read/hear - Tius
This book is one of the most important books you will read. I plan to have my 10 year old read it. I consider myself very self aware, but there are still some items I needed to work on. Please read this book. More than once. Keep for reference.
Good book with sensible advice to manage emotions and increase social awareness. I think it could have benefited from more examples that were not super generic, perhaps more real life examples. Overall, a good introduction to emotional intelligence.
narrator speaks way too slow to keep me interested sorry... couldn't get past page 1
I know how to buy
The audio book is very good. But there is no pass-code to take the test (Using link: http://www.talentsmart.com/eiqb/english/) mentioned in Audio book. How do I get it?
a Good bood but narrator sound is low....https://www.urduvoz.com/...may narrator speak like that but i feel low sound.
There is no passcode to take the test. How do I get it?
Valuable book for personal and professional improvement. I will read again and I highly recommend!
The book is ok...But the narrator I found irritating to listen to, the narrating was too slow. I guess I won't even finish listening to this book.
This is an enjoyable audiobook to listen to. I like the narrator, too.
