Nothing overly insightful, but may help those you know who are emotionally unaware of themselves. I think this book would be good for those who are quick to anger or sadness, or those who don't listen to other people's opinions/feelings.

DID NOT FINISH: 4%
The audiobook is delivered lifelessly, but with faint music playing in the background. It was nearly impossible for me to process auditorily. 

Furthermore, the book should provide trigger warning. Within 5 minutes of chapter one’s beginning, there is mention of extreme violence. 

We all need to grow our EI index for our professional development. I don’t understand why it needs to be made sensational.

I was hoping that this book would finally answer a question that I have been asking myself for the last several years: do I actually have an abysmally low emotional intelligence? Is that what keeps me from being fulfilled in my relationships and other pursuits? Because if that were it, it would be nice to know. After reading this book, I am not sure that I have a better understanding of myself in that sense. I definitely came across some tips that elicited a "hmm, I think that people would appreciate if I did that more" out of me, but nothing that I would consider revolutionary. The book was written very simply and did not push itself too hard. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an introduction to emotional intelligence and willing to take their personal development step by step.
