This was such a quick but also very informative read on emotional intelligence. It used examples to clearly illustrate why EQ is important to each one of us. The first section outlines what it is, and how it's different than IQ and personality, then it explains each aspect (there are 4) that make up the EQ. Then the book gives practical ideas to help the reader intentionally address each of the 4 parts of the EQ, to be more aware and to improve. I didn't read too closely these sections since I had not taken an EQ test yet, but I had a general idea of where I could improve and found the ideas to be helpful. This is definitely something I want to look into more sometime!
