Connect through Emotional Intelligence: Learn to master self, understand others, and build strong, productive relationships
Did you know that Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a better predictor of success than IQ?
You can have all the skills and smarts, but if you aren’t great with people, your personal and professional life will always fall short of your expectations.
In every sector, from teaching to manufacturing to law enforcement, brains and brawn no longer cut it. The ability to interact well with others—peers, subordinates, and clients—is what makes candidates highly desirable in today’s competitive market.
Improving your EI is not about sitting in a circle and singing kumbaya. It’s about becoming a fully functioning adult who enjoys a higher quality of life in every area—within themselves, in their home, with their friends, and in their workplace.
Here’s the good While IQ is relatively fixed—no amount of study can turn you into Albert Einstein—anyone can improve their EI.

The book penetrates on three parts of emotional intelligence (EI): Me, Them, Us. There's plenty of research and scenarios to back up his claims, making the context credible and engaging. The exercises at the end of each chapter are real-world applications, which promote growth over time. This read also made me realize that emotional intelligence is a better indicator of long-term success than having a high IQ. In a nutshell, this book is a must-have on your bookshelf.

Excellent Read
Well thought out and clearly written, Acker’s book makes his point with firmness. I enjoyed that there were stories and anecdotes sprinkled throughout to break up the educational passages.
