What’s EQ Got to Do With It? Using Emotional Intelligence to Maximize Everything

Emotional Intelligence isn’t one thing; it’s a culmination of ideas. EQ means cultivating the ability to: perceive, evaluate, manage and control emotions, cope with life’s inevitable ups and downs, read and appropriately respond to the
social cues of others, delay gratification, and control impulses. That is a tall order and also a very powerful concept!
