Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take

Smart Emotions for Busy Business People

Byron Stock · 2008
63/100
👎 Skip It

Byron Stock's fifteen years of applied EQ training shows in the no-filler approach — five techniques, clearly laid out, respecting the reader's time. The self-publishing route and absence of independent critical reviews mean we're largely relying on reader endorsements, and the techniques themselves are not proprietary enough to stand out in a crowded EQ market. A decent read for a professional who wants a fast, practical EQ primer, but not the strongest option in the category.
