It got me hooked!I’m sure many of the ‘degreed’ people like me have at one point or other in their lives wondered – “Did I really need that degree?”. This is especially true when I see people without a college degree doing quite well for themselves if not better. They are confident, smart and focused. So what is their secret?This is the answer that Vivian Morgan’s ebook seeks to give. We have always been concerned if not obsessed with IQ; psychologists today however are of the opinion that while determining an individual’s success approximately 10% can be attributed to IQ. They agree that other qualities like initiative, empathy as well as leadership potential gives better work performance.The subject matter of this book risks getting academic beyond a point. However the author knowing this has intelligently devised a way to keep the reader’s interest alive. The thoughtfully designed chapters do the trick to a certain extent by letting the readers know exactly what they are gaining from each chapter.What makes the book an interesting read is of course the later chapters that discuss the scope of application of EQ in the educational, professional and administrative field.Emotional intelligence is slowly gaining a sturdy reputation as a near accurate marker of an individual’s personality and is poised to play a greater role in the decision making of our lives. But if you are new to the subject, this book no doubt will be your best companion.
