Emotional Intelligence: The Top Secret to Using Emotional Intelligence to Get the Most Out of Your Life

By Naomi McCullough

Are you good at reading the intentions of others? Do you know how to manage your knee-jerk reactions when someone insults you? Do you wish you could empathize more with the way others feel? 

You may know your IQ, and if it is a very high number then you should be very proud of your intellectual ability, but what about your EQ? That’s right, do you know your Emotional Intelligence? 

So, why is it important that we understand emotional intelligence? You've probably noticed that it’s not the smartest people that are the most successful or the most fulfilled in life; being clever, talented or skilled is not enough. In fact, Emotional Intelligence accounts for nearly 90% of the difference between average and highly successful people. 
In life, we tend to live up to certain values and qualities in order to lead life rightfully and to the fullest. Little did we know some of these qualities are connected in enhancing our emotional intelligence? 

This book will show you how.
Emotional intelligence can help you to gain control over your own emotions, rather than letting them take over you and making you react in a way that you are not proud of later on, as well as recognizing the emotions of others around you. We will take a look at how to observe and express your emotions, how to increase your self-awareness, and even how to apply your newfound emotional intelligence in the workplace and your relationships. 

Reading this book will help you have a better understanding of the role of emotional intelligence in your personal self-development.

Introduction

Congratulations on downloading this book and thank you for doing so.

The following chapters will discuss what emotional intelligence is all about and why it is so important to you. Emotional intelligence can help you to gain control over your own emotions, rather than letting them take over you and making you react in a way that you are not proud of later on, as well as recognizing the emotions of others around you.

Once we have a good understanding of what emotional intelligence is all about, it is time to go on to learn about some of the different steps that you can take to work on your emotional intelligence. We will take a look at how to observe and express your emotions, how to increase your self-awareness, and even how to apply your newfound emotional intelligence in the workplace and your relationships.

Most of us have had times when our emotions have taken over our lives, and we are not proud of the reactions that we have. But with some improvements to your emotional intelligence, you will be able to get control over your emotions and live a life that is more likely to go the way that you want.

There are plenty of books on this subject on the market, thanks again for choosing this one! Every effort was made to ensure it is full of as much useful information as possible; please enjoy!

Chapter 1: What Is Emotional Intelligence?

No matter what kind of role you play in life, the ability to accurately control and express your emotions can be really important. You also need to be able to understand, interpret, and respond to emotions that others around you have as well. Think about how it would be if you weren't able to tell when one of your close friends was feeling sad or when one of your coworkers was mad at you. When you are not only about to express and control your own emotions but also interpret and understand the emotions of others, you are believed to have emotional intelligence.

To keep things simple, emotional intelligence is going to refer to your ability to perceive, control, and evaluate emotions whether they are your own emotions or emotions that someone else is feeling. Some people have a high emotional intelligence and can control the emotions that they have in many situations while also responding to the emotions of those around you. On the other hand, some people have poor emotional intelligence; these are the individuals who will explode at almost anything and barely take the feelings of others into consideration.

Let's take a look at the difference between someone who has emotional intelligence and someone who doesn't. Our first person is someone who takes life as it comes. They realize that most of the time when things go wrong, it is out of their control rather than seeing it as the world coming after them. They rarely get upset, especially over the little things and know the proper times to show their emotions, such as being happy after a promotion or at a friends' party.

Also, this person responds well to how others are feeling. When a coworker comes and starts yelling at them, they don't get mad back. They realize that something must really be bothering that person and they step up to try and help or make it better. When one of their friends is having a bad day, they talk through it and help that friend feel better. They are in tune with the emotions of others and don't always take the words and actions of others so personally.

Now, let's look at our second person. This person has a hard time controlling their emotions. When they are upset about something, they will explode at others (whether it is that other person's fault or not), they cry easily, and they may have anxiety. These individuals will often have the idea that the world is against them and little things, the things that don't matter that much, will set them off.

When it comes to responding to others, this is barely
