This is one quote that I have memorized and Even have it written on stickies stuck on my mirror “Remember, the only difference between a happy person and a sad person is the way they interpret the events that happen in their lives.”
Our Emotions really do control OUR behavior: The author stresses that an emotionally intelligent person understands how important it is to always be in control of their emotions. This takes practice and a mindset to succeed . It can be done. They don’t allow their emotions to control their behavior. For example, How do you behave during an argument? Do you scream until you lose your voice, or do you quietly and calmly use your emotional intelligence to control the situation? The answer we give is the key to our success in life, business…etc.
I have learned by reading through this wonderful encouraging book that It is normal to feel irritated when any person gets into a confrontation with you. However, it is never okay to become disrespectful and start shouting and calling someone degrading names. This is one I had to work on. By following the advice and steps of the author… I have the right mindset now. I can positively say that I have almost succeeded in the art of emotional intelligence.
For example , in a relationship, a partner who argues calmly is emotionally intelligent; if not, you are dealing with a person who will eventually get into a screaming match with you. The author goes into such detail about our anatomy and how a low emotional intelligence can really cause major bodily health and mental problems. She discusses everything in her book. She does not miss a thing.
For example, when a person can feel him/herself getting angry and chooses to walk away instead of yelling, you can keep dating that person. Because they have learned to control their emotions…and they would rather walk away from a situation than hurt you by yelling and calling you a degrading name in the heat of the moment. I highly recommend this book because It will teach you how to master your emotions … your health will improve and so will your skills in the business world.

This is an excellent book if you want to improve your relationship skills. I learned a lot of useful skills I can use. It also gave me many insights into my relationships. Great way to improve your communications.
I wish more parents and more educators would read this book. I am both and I find building on that emotional intelligence early in a child’s life helps build success. This book offers excellent information on doing that.

Good Intro or Refresher with Action Plan
After the groundbreaking and popular book of the same name came out a couple of decades ago, the term emotional intelligence resurfaces now and then. I like this book’s approach to the topic. The author first explores what it is, what emotions are, and what affects them. She even gave some discussion to the chemical and physiological backbone that is a part of emotion. Later chapters include a specific look at the topic in regard to the home and the workplace. But what I think makes this book particularly good is the last two chapters. The first is a quiz for you to assess your emotional intelligence. I could say I did well on some and not so well on the others! But she follows this up with a 10-day challenge so that you can improve your emotional intelligence. The book is easy to read and written in a conversational tone, even when she is digging into the more scientific aspects of it all. If you’d like a nice introduction to the topic, or a refresher course, and would appreciate an action plan as well as the background of the topic, this book may very well fill the bill for you.

Judy Dyer has done a great job writing about emotional intelligence. I think it is a very important subject and have read other books about emotional intelligence. It is something I want to promote in my family. There is a great need in our society for people to interact with more empathy. Judy has included a lot of research on the subject. I especially liked her last chapter about the 10-day challenge to develop more emotional intelligence. Thank goodness, it is a characteristic that we can improve!

It’s easy to assume that we may know what emotional intelligence is all about, but Judy Dyer gives a complete view of it and how we benefit from developing our emotional intelligence. When we see emotions as just something inside of us, we miss out on how they impact what we do and say and how we treat others. This book covers that aspect from several angles. Also, there’s a great reminder how our bodies and minds are connected. So, our emotions can be impacted by how our bodies are doing – such as sleep, movement, etc.
This is a practical guide providing pointers for how emotional intelligence is helpful in the workplace and at home. I found the 10 day challenge to improve emotional intelligence to be helpful as well.

This book is a compilation of all emotional intelligence learning that you could have at hand. The author is using an easy-to-read-and-understand teaching dialog that makes your learning flowless starting at the “Introduction”. I have now a sense of what is emotional intelligence, how is it composed, how could I be aware of my feelings and most important: to keep control of them and help others to recover control. The situation is that I know how but need to practice and start doing it now. For instance, I would not discuss anything if I’m hungry; my wife always feeds me at night (dinner) and makes sure I’m satisfied before starting to talk about a difficult situation. Also, she did the same to my daughters after picking them up from school, just before talking about how was the day – she did offer to them a Tupperware with vegetables. How smart is she!. In chapter 7 you can see and understand why.
While I was reading this book on the last weekend (feb2nd’20) I got several chances to continue to be the normal-caveman at home when somethings are not done or are not ready as expected to be, however, I applied what I was learning – it was difficult – but initially I realize I was losing my patience and calm, I avoided to claim and initiated with questions about why the expectation was missing. Incredibly my counterpart and I started a dialog and everything became more friendly than before once I understood her point of view. We agreed on the next steps and continue been ready for the rest of the day…
The author has added in this book some chapters to review your situation in different areas of scope like “the workplace”, “at home” and includes drainers that could affect you without noticing it. Also, you can find a Test that would give you a level of EQ and a recipe to improve in 10 days. All these tools will help you start controlling your emotions and help others.
The book is not doing it all for us. Keep in mind that you need to PRACTICE and then after PRACTICE. Make it a habit!
Good luck with your EQ growth.

I appreciate Dyer’s point that emotions are temporary, they don’t define us, and we shouldn’t expect to always have positive emotions. Negative emotions can propel us to action, they signify that we need to change, just as physical pain alerts us something is wrong so we seek help such as a doctor’s visit. We can take care of ourselves in a number of ways including being a better friend, active listening, reducing foods that mess with hormones which disrupt mood (and adding foods that assist in producing the good hormones), increasing exercise, calming our minds and reducing stress with meditation and being more present, and getting better sleep (just to name a few of the many things that were recommended). There are some good tips on journaling activities that I plan to implement.
