The book is structured into three sections, blending theory with practical exercises. It begins by defining EQ and its biological basis, supported by fMRI studies on emotion regulation. The second section focuses on skill-building, offering tools like active listening and mindfulness techniques. The final section applies EQ to real-world scenarios, such as parenting and leadership, with case studies from organizational psychology and education. Unique features like the ""EQ Audit"" provide readers with a structured self-assessment to identify areas for growth.
What sets this book apart is its accessible, actionable approach. It avoids jargon and includes practical exercises, such as emotion-tracking journals and role-playing scenarios, making EQ development tangible for a broad audience. By grounding emotional intelligence in science and offering real-world applications, Emotional Intelligence Basics empowers readers to enhance their emotional lives and achieve lasting personal growth.
