schmoterp 's review for:
Emotional Intelligence 2.0
by Jean Greaves, Travis Bradberry
My draft review was accidentally deleted. I don't care enough to rewrite it. In a few short words, self-help books are not for me. Bradberry literally regurgitated words I had been raised on and asked me to pay for them. 60-ish phases with obvious explanations apparently equals a best-selling self-help book. The test is ridiculously short for ascertaining such a complex concept as EQ.
However, I came to the conclusion that perhaps my opinion of self-help books is because I was raised and surrounded by these kinds of ideas. If someone never heard them before, perhaps this book would have been revolutionary in their lives. This is why I've opted for a 2-star rating - it's actually really good advice even if I didn't need to hear it.
One final thought. This was on the required high school reading list. I have mixed feelings about this but I think I'm leaning to the notion that this is a good idea. I imagine this may be very helpful in a group situation though I can equally imagine being the subject of a few jokes if a teenager asked their friend about their EQ between classes.
