👍 Worth It
If you want a quick, actionable entry point into emotional intelligence, this bestseller delivers: 66 concrete strategies, an included EQ self-assessment, and writing plain enough that anyone can use it on Monday morning. Just know that academic psychologists dispute some of the science, so treat it as a practical starting kit rather than the final word on EQ.
