Basic

Everything seemed like wisdom from 40 years ago, nothing new. Was recommended, glad it was short.

Far better than Goleman

Daniel Goleman authored Emotional Intelligence, Working with Emotional Intelligence, Primal Leadership, and Social Intelligence. After listening to all three consecutively and now this book, EQ Quickbook, i found Quickbook to be far superior by far. Quickbook takes the core concepts of all the Goleman books, lists them, explains them is clarity and depth, and goes further to provide an outline of precise steps to take to increase your EQ. If your goal is to increase your EQ, THIS is THE book to get and take notes on.

The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book

The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book has great stories and profound research. It's a fun read!

The book includes a complimentary The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal for you to test your own EQ. Once you take the test, you can view your unique score report online and have access to an ongoing, customized score report and goal-tracking system.

I highly recommend this book!

Worth the investment

This is a great summary of emotional intelligence without scientific details and evolutionary tales.

This book explains the useful principles without getting lost in the details.

Promo for another book?

Don't buy this book. It's basically a promo for their EQ testing and other work. Minimal value, about 30% of the content was useful here

It was supposed to come with the EQ test, referring to the "CD in the book jacket" with it. They also referenced that it would be emailed from Audible. It never was. After multiple attempts to email Audible and ask for it, I gave up

Lacks Substance

There is nothing in this book that any person who can walk and chew gum already doesn’t completely understand. A slew of generalizations and over simplifications without any real practical instruction or deeper analysis. An emotional intelligence quick-buck for the authors.
