REVISED AND UPDAT ED WITH NEW RESEARCH INTO EQ AND PERSONAL ANDCAREER SUCCESS
What is the formula for success at your job? As a spouse? Aparent? A Little League baseball coach or behind the bench of aminor hockey team?
What does it take to get ahead? To separate yourself from thecompetition? To lead a less stressful and happier existence? To befulfilled in personal and professional pursuits?
What is the most important dynamic of your makeup? Is it your A)intelligence quotient? or B) emotional quotient?
If you picked "A", you are partly correct. Your intelligencequotient can be a predictor of things such as academic achievement.But your IQ is fixed and unchangeable.

"Finally, a practical and usable guide to what emotionalintelligence is all about. This book peels the onion on what EQreally is and teaches the reader to assess their own EQ and how toincrease it.
