One of the most controversial areas of intelligence theory these days is emotional intelligence. People with a high IQ based on standard IQ tests may or may not do well in life. That has made theorists wonder if there is another way to measure intelligence. The result is EQ or emotional intelligence. Highly successful people have a higher EQ. The good news is that anyone's EQ can be improved. In "It's Not How Smart You Are It's How You Are Smart" the author takes you through detailed descriptions of how to raise your EQ. Life can be demanding, learning how to raise your EQ and thereby better manage your emotions, improve your energy levels, direct your energies in positive and fulfilling directions, as well as improve your life on many other levels can make life much more fun and less stressful. The book is divided into two parts with the first part an excellent description of EQ, what it is and what it is not, and the second part the heuristics of how to improve your EQ. Each chapter in the second part stands on its own so they can be read straight through or you can read them in whatever order you would like. One of the easier to read books on the subject of EQ it is easy to understand and apply. A recommended read for anyone seeking to improve their life.
