The Non-obvious Guide to Emotional Intelligence is one of those books that is informative, but not overwhelmingly so. It’s a light easy read with a few aha! moments peppered in. The author focuses on emotional intelligence as it relates to decision-making, agility (in leadership) and relationships. It takes an EQ cubed approach looking at the self, the relationship and the environment. Since emotionally intelligent individuals typically earn more, advance quicker and navigate professional and personal relationships more successfully, I highly recommend this book. This is a practical and insightful guide to building more effective relationships, creating more productive environments and becoming a more purposeful leader.

I received The Non Obvious Guide to Emotional Intelligence by Kerry Goyette from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. This book told some amazing pop culture reference examples, trying and succeeding to get some buy in by introducing ways that emotional intelligence works in examples of familiar people. However, the other thing this book does extremely well is force a buzzword into an explanation that could be called "doing your job." It made me question at one point, how are none of these people already fired? Are their parents in charge of the company? Are we actually talking about members of congress? I felt that this book crammed vague references to scientific studies and an amazing buzz word into areas that didn't need them, and didn't help. In an overcrowded self-help for leadership market, go find a different book. If you are hired to do a job, you should actually complete the job.

Easy and quick to read with practical elements and skills.
You will probably make the link with other books such as frame / label.

A few interesting thoughts that help simplify an important and complex topic. Easy to read, but the formatting of the text was a bit odd and distracting.
