I was disappointed in this book, it has some good tips for communicating better but the way it reads suggests that reading this book is the best and only way to improve yourself.

Lots of workable strategies that help increase self awareness and self management. Interesting read.
This book surprised me! I thought it would only be useful in the business world but I realized all the points can be useful in any type of relationship.
Didn't enjoy it, cuz again didn't believe that if your emotional intelligence is higher than your IQ you can be successful. I think it's proven by real life examples that you don't need only high emotional intelligence to be successful.
I read this as part of our management training program at work. I'm giving it 4 stars for the simple fact that I truly believe emotional intelligence is a key skill a manager should have to be successful. It becomes very glaring when someone in a management role lacks it. Managing work/accounts is not nearly as difficult as it is to manage the people aspect of things. Between various personalities & work styles - it becomes pretty darn important to be able to navigate and help grow each person on your team.
This book does not point out anything you won't already know. However, it's useful in grouping points & suggestions and triggering more thoughts around each one. It serves as a great reminder on how to stay self-aware and better manage relationships with others on your team.

A decent, quick guide to what emotional intelligence is and some helpful exercises on how to become more self aware in the moment. A bit overly simplistic in spots.
I really enjoyed this book, and learned a lot. I probably would've given it 4 stars, except for the glaring mistake I found. The book references "Sully" Sullenberger, the pilot who safely landed a plane on the Hudson River, and says his first name is Chelsea. It's not. His first name is Chesley. I feel like a mistake like that should've been caught and corrected.
Some helpful tips and common sense on improving your awareness and control of your emotions and how they affect others.
