First popularized by Daniel Goleman in his book Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, the concept of emotional intelligence is now widely accepted, not only within the psychological arena, but also, ever-increasingly, within the business world. In The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book, authors Bradberry and Greaves outline techniques anyone can use to achieve goals in an easier and more fulfilling way, improve relationships, enhance health, and become more accomplished in the work force. Starting with a discussion on what emotional intelligence (EQ, for short) is and how it impacts our lives, Bardberry and Greaves then provide readers with instructions for determining their own EQ via the book s companion Web site (the passcode for doing so can be found on the inside of the book s dust jacket). They also provide a variety of ways readers can increase their EQ and put it to use in their personal and professional lives. Based on research with more than 500,000 people, The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book is exactly that, a quick and easy-to-read resource that empowers readers to master their EQ and more effectively incorporate it into all aspects of their daily lives. Larry Trivieri Jr.

 Neat book January 7, 2009
Joseph Baxter
This is the most thought-provoking book I've read in a long time. Without being simplistic, it introduced me to so many interesting things I could use to my benefit. Being intellectually smart is surely a strong advantage in our society, but it doesn't say nearly as much as your control and awareness over your own emotions. Have you ever wondered why you have emotions, how your brain works to process them, and how you can use them to your own advantage? I've never read a book that so clearly explains how it all works and what to do with it.
Just what you need... January 7, 2009
Victoria Bean
...and no fluff. I bought this book because it was recommended to me and I was curious about the topic of emotional intelligence. It has great stories that bring emotional intelligence to life, and the authors show you just how important emotional intelligence is and what you can do to increase your EQ. The companion online test is also fantastic. The book was nice and short, but I didn't feel like it left anything out. It just told me what I need to know so that I can use emotional intelligence to improve my life. I didn't have to sift through a bunch of junk to get to the good stuff and I like that!
 "Quick" is right January 6, 2009

This is a fast, perhaps superficial, introduction to Emotional Intelligence. If you really want to understand EI, I'd recommend taking the time to read Daniel Goleman's EI book.
As I was working through the companion online EI self-assessment, I felt that I was really evaluating my EI self-awareness versus EI itself. The book itself gives examples of low EI people who would test well, like the boss who erroneously believes that he is a great communicator.
Nonetheless, if you know little about EI, and want to get a fast overview, this could be the book for you.
Helps you improve in the most important skills December 23, 2008

This book is a breezy read that has some great anecdotes to illustrate what emotional intelligence looks like, why it's important, and what you can do to improve. The authors have tested and studied more than 500,000 people to determine the role emotional intelligence plays in life and what people need to do to improve their ability in this critical skill.
The book begins with a riveting story of Phineas Gage, a man who survived a horrific brain injury seemingly unscathed, until (as you'll discover in the book) people noticed some unusual changes in his behavior. The authors' presentation of the four emotional intelligence skills is intuitive and easy to follow, and the last half of the book shows you how to improve your EQ both at work and at home.
The test that comes with the book is taken online (via a passcode provided with the book). Many of the best strategies for improving your EQ are online in your test results (customized to your score profile). I think the couple of people here who complained about the book needing more strategies must've missed this online component.
 Very Disappointing December 22, 2008

A recommended read, but I can't figure out why.
The authors spout the necessity and importance of emotional intelligence with anecdotal stories and descriptions but don't do much of anything to actually train the reader. Do not bother borrowing the book from your local library. The code needed to take their "Emotional Intelligence Appraisal" is a one-time option. To try to take the test again, after the first reader, you would need to pay to do so. This is a problem even if you purchase the book. The authors appear to be more concerned with making a buck off their website than teaching the concept in their book. My recommendation: Do not bother; the book is merely an advertisement for their on-line products and seminars.
