Emotional Intelligence - The EQ Edge

Steven J. Stein, Ph.D

What is the most important dynamic of your makeup? Is it your (A) intelligence quotient, or (B) emotional quotient? The revised and updated The EQ Edge, by Steven J. Stein and Howard E. Book, (published by Jossey-Bass) will show you how the dynamic of emotional intelligence works. By understanding EQ, you can build more meaningful relationships, boost your confidence and optimism, and respond to challenges with enthusiasm--all of which are essential ingredients of success.

The book features case studies and fascinating--and surprising--insights into EQ and the workplace. In our Success Strategies edition of Total Picture Radio, Steven and I discuss what it takes to get ahead, how to separate yourself from the competition, and how to lead a less stressful existence to become more fulfilled in your personal and professional pursuits.
