Emotional Intelligence - 2nd Edition by Gill Hasson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Transform the way you see the world and the way the world sees you by effectively managing your emotions

The happiest and most fulfilled people are not always the cleverest or most talented, skilled, or educated among us. Instead, those who can effectively manage feelings--their own and those of the people around them--frequently wear that crown. And now more than ever, emotional intelligence is the trait you need to develop to unlock your true potential.

In the newly revised second edition of Emotional Intelligence, bestselling author of the Mindfulness Pocketbook and career coach, Gill Hasson, delivers yet another insightful roadmap to navigating and harnessing your emotions. You'll learn to boost your productivity, happiness, calm, and confidence as the author explains the startlingly straightforward fundamentals of our feelings. You'll also discover how to boost your "EQ" (emotional intelligence quotient) to improve your personal and work lives, manage conflict, understand office politics, deal with bullying, and more.

Emotional Intelligence walks you through how to:

• Manage anxiety and stress so they don't overwhelm you at work or at home
• Express yourself and your desires clearly and simply so you can get more of what you want
• Be more assertive so you can protect yourself and those you care about from mistreatment

Emotional Intelligence remains the gold standard in effective, self-guided resources for improving your mental health and your life.

From the Back Cover

Transform your personal and professional life

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.

It's your ability to manage your feelings, other people and your interactions with them that makes the difference.

We're all born with this ability -- emotional intelligence is a skill and we all have the capacity to develop this skill.

Emotional Intelligence, Second Edition will show you how.

It will change the way you think about emotions. Instead of thinking of emotions as being positive or negative, you will learn that all emotions have a positive intent -- all emotions have our best interests in mind.

Improve your emotional intelligence and you improve your ability to understand and manage emotions. You can think clearly and creatively, manage stress and challenges, communicate well with others and display trust, empathy and confidence.

You will be in a better position to handle situations, events and other people that in the past you've found difficult or stressful.
