Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Jean Greaves, Travis Bradberry

3.0

there are four components of emotional intelligence. self awareness is your ability to identify your own emotions as they occur. self management is your ability to effectively react to the situations and emotions that happen. social awareness is the ability to “read the room” and pick up on social cues or other’s feelings. relationship management uses a combination of the other three components to optimize healthy and lasting connection with others.

the first textbook i have ever read just for fun. i learned a lot of new tools to use for myself and my relationships. lots of tips to keep on hand to live a more emotionally mature life. to be honest though, a lot of this can be found via a therapist or online. still, i like trying to make myself a better human. sic ‘em bears.
