Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Jean Greaves, Travis Bradberry

3.0

This book provides foundational knowledge of emotional intelligence. More research has been conducted since the publishing of this book, but many of the primary concepts remain valuable. We cannot simply rely on intelligence for achieving success. There will be the occasional Sheldon Coopers of the world, but the amount of success will still be limited without emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is a skill to be developed and refined.



“The biggest obstacle to increasing your self-awareness is the tendency to avoid the discomfort that comes from seeing yourself as you really are.”

“Remember, feedback is meant to address the problem, not the person.”

“You do control the thoughts that follow an emotion, and you have a great deal of say in how you react to an emotion—as long as you are aware of it.”

“Good decisions require far more than factual knowledge. They are made using self-knowledge and emotional mastery when they’re needed most.”

“Your brain has a difficult time distinguishing between what you see with your eyes and what you visualize in your mind.”
