Emotional Intelligence 2.0

De: Travis Bradberry, Jean Greaves

Narrado por: Tom Parks

In today's fast-paced world of competitive workplaces and turbulent economic conditions, each of us is searching for effective tools that can help us to manage, adapt, and strike out ahead of the pack.

By now, emotional intelligence (EQ) needs little introduction - it’s no secret that EQ is critical to your success. But knowing what EQ is and knowing how to use it to improve your life are two very different things.

Emotional Intelligence 2.0 delivers a step-by-step program for increasing your EQ via four, core EQ skills that enable you to achieve your fullest potential:

1) Self-Awareness

2) Self-Management

3) Social Awareness

4) Relationship Management

Emotional Intelligence 2.0 is a book with a single purpose - increasing your EQ. Here’s what people are saying about it:

“Emotional Intelligence 2.0 succinctly explains how to deal with emotions creatively and employ our intelligence in a beneficial way.” - The Dalai Lama

“A fast read with compelling anecdotes and good context in which to understand and improve.” - Newsweek

"Gives abundant, practical findings and insights with emphasis on how to develop EQ. Research shows convincingly that EQ is more important than IQ." - Stephen R. Covey, author, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

"This book can drastically change the way you think about success...read it twice." - Patrick Lencioni, author, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

I have trouble listening to this guy...

What did you like best about Emotional Intelligence 2.0? What did you like least?

It is such a turn off to listen to the male narrator fake a female voice when quoting a woman who has responded to a personality profile question regarding a coworker. If he's quoting a male coworker, he takes on a cowboy drawl and lowers his voice an octave. It's really bizarre.

Would you be willing to try another one of Tom Parks’s performances?

no

Skip the evaluations in the audible

Overall this is very interesting and good information. The reading of the evaluations was laughable, after about the first 15 seconds, I started skipping. He reads the evaluations in over-acted voices ranging from feminine to happy to energetic to angry - it's pointless, distracting and unnecessary. They could have just explained the point they were trying to get across. That would have been much better.

I will say, audible does provide the information needed to take the EQ self assessment test - it arrived in a separate email from audible.

This is an amazing book, YOU DO GET THE CODE!

I was one click away from returning the Audible copy as I couldn't find a link to the code needed to take their EQ test. I went to the FAQ page at TalentSmartEQ.com and discovered Audible was responsible for emailing the code. I checked my trash folder, and there it was! I saw countless reviews on how great this book was, but Audible didn't provide the code, THEY DO, check your junk folders!!! You don't want to miss this amazing listen for that!

If you are human, then this is a must read.

this is a basis for beginning a path to improve Emotional Intelligence and should be read by everyone.

Why haven't I heard of this before?

This book was recommended by my supervisor during a meeting. It was the best take away he gave us!

Great information!

Definitely need to listen again to help me pick up on, remember and practice the techniques.

Good book on emotional intelligence.

Great improvement from the book emotional intelligence. This one actually talks uses and suggestions. I'm buying a copy for my desk at work

Have to be in the right mindset.

Nothing revolutionary, pretty common sense stuff. Some solid ideas for action plans but you definitely have to be in a position where you WANT to actively try to make these changes. If you're just looking for a book to listen and learn while you drive, mow the lawn, workout, etc., I I wouldn't recommend this book. You have to be very engaged to pick up the info in my opinion.

Very Helpful

This was a very helpful and insightful book. I commend the authors for this great work and as well Tom for the good narrative. With my EQ results and recommendations, I shouldn't be the same in the 6 weeks and forever.

EQ is essential!

I really enjoyed this audiobook! I would highly encourage you to give it a listen!
