Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Jean Greaves, Travis Bradberry

5.0

After I took the emotional intelligence test and recieved my score, I was a little upset that I was merely average in my score. I would like to think I'm above average, but don't we all? One of my professors last semester opened class with the statement "Most if not everyone in this room thinks they are above average, I'm sorry but you are not."

Low and behold there was hope, the coping strategies and techniques provided in this book to help you work on your area of weakness.

While reading the examples given for each strength and the good and bad examples I was surprised to find that I resembled a few of the bad examples in previous work experience. Looking back I wish I could change how I handled my old job, and maybe it would have had a better outcome (rather than what did happen, where I resent almost everyone I worked with).

Hope is not lost, now I can move forward and hopefully redirect my current ways of interacting with others. It will take me a few months to practice better habits but hopefully I can use these new suggestions to insure success during my summer internship!
