The Power of EQ: 10 Reasons Emotional Intelligence Matters
By Ezra Thorne

In a world that often prioritises speed, intellect, and achievement, The Power of EQ offers a compelling argument for something quieter—but no less vital: emotional intelligence. While IQ might help us solve problems or pass exams, EQ determines how we handle pressure, connect with others, and lead meaningful lives.

Ezra Thorne’s powerful and practical guide dives deep into the core of emotional intelligence, showing how it affects everything from our personal relationships to our career success and overall wellbeing. Grounded in research yet written in a highly accessible style, this book explores ten essential ways emotional intelligence enhances daily life. You’ll discover how EQ strengthens relationships, improves communication, reduces stress, sharpens decision-making, boosts leadership skills, and even promotes long-term happiness.

Drawing on the foundational work of psychologists like Daniel Goleman, Peter Salovey, and John Mayer, The Power of EQ explains emotional intelligence not just as a theory, but as a skill set—one that can be learned, practised, and strengthened over time. This book is ideal for anyone who wants to thrive in today’s complex emotional landscape, from students and teachers to parents, professionals, and leaders.

What sets this book apart is its real-world relevance. Whether you’re navigating a difficult conversation, leading a team through uncertainty, or simply trying to become more self-aware, each chapter offers insights and actionable strategies you can apply immediately. You’ll learn how to communicate with empathy, manage emotional triggers, resolve conflict constructively, and lead with authenticity.

In a fast-changing world where artificial intelligence is rising and human connection can feel fragile, emotional intelligence has never been more critical.
