    About this ebook

    Would you like to master your emotions effectively?

    Ever felt angry or frustrated at someone - and snapped? Taken your own insecurities and emotive worries out on someone else to make yourself feel better? Knowing how to control these feelings and your reactions to them is known as "emotional intelligence."


    We are getting richer, but less and less happy. Depression, suicide, relationship breakdowns, loneliness by choice, fear of closeness, addictions—these are clear evidence that we are getting increasingly worse when it comes to dealing with our emotions.


    Life is very busy these days and decisions we take can be made rashly - without any real thought going into them - and this can lead to disaster - negativity, stress and overwhelm are just some of the consequences.


    The truth is, not many people realize what EQ is really all about - or what causes its popularity to grow constantly.


    Mastering our emotional intelligence should be high on the scale of our personal development skills but, all too often, we neglect it.


    Imagine being able to gain back control of your life. Imagine living a happy life with confidence.


    Emotional Intelligence is a skill and can be learned through constant practice and training.


    Emotional intelligence directly impacts the way we formulate personal decisions, the way we mange behavior and our ability to maneuver through social complexities
    Emotionally intelligent people are open to new experiences, can show appropriate feelings in any situation, either good or bad, and find it easy to socialize with other people and establish new contacts. They handle stress well, say "no" easily, realistically assess the achievements of themselves or others, and are not afraid of constructive criticism and taking calculated risks. They are successful.

    Every chapter covers different areas of emotional intelligence and shows you, step by step , exactly what you can do to develop your EQ and become the better version of yourself.

      Emotional Intelligence Mastery - John Hoffner

      What is Emotional Intelligence?

      Emotional intelligence is not something you can see or measure in real terms, but it is something which can be displayed and felt every single day of your life. Emotional intelligence, or EQ in its shortened terms, is the ability to understand and control your emotions. By doing this, you can avoid spur of the moment, rash decisions and reactions, which can go on to have far-reaching, and sometimes disastrous results. Of course, there is more to it than that. EQ allows you to not only understand and recognize your own emotions, but the emotions of others. By doing this, you can develop closer ties and better relationships, which will benefit you in a work setting, as well as in private and friendship-type relationships. We often don’t say how we feel, we often show it, and if you can’t see the cues, how are you supposed to recognize what you’re not hearing?

      There are a huge number of benefits to increasing your emotional intelligence level, and we’re going to go into a bit more detail on those shortly. For now, we need to know about the definition, and why it is so vitally important in today’s always switched on, always connected world.

      Why is Emotional Intelligence so Important Today?

      You might wonder why it is so vital to be emotionally intelligent generally, but in this day and age the importance grows ten-fold. We are constantly on guard for various events coming our way, and the rise of social media has not helped matters at all. We need to be switched on constantly, always contactable, always checking someone’s news feed for updates, always comparing ourselves to their latest selfie and vacation pictures, and before you know it, we feel positively burnt out and second best. Comparisons are easy to come by, we never feel like we’re good enough, we’re always second guessing ourselves, wondering if we’re making the right choices, wondering if we’re missing the point. Put simply, today’s world is hard work!

      By increasing your own level of emotional intelligence you can help yourself avoid all of that negativity, and instead focus on living your own best life, and reaching your aims. The best part? You’ll be much happier for it too. Being light on your feet and knowing that no matter what, you’ll get through and manage any situation and feeling which comes your way, is one of the best feelings around.

      Stress is something we all know about, because we’re supposed to wear so many hats over the course of a day. We need to succeed in this role at work, that role at home, be this type of friend, be that mother, that father, do this, do that, it’s so overwhelming and stressful that it’s no wonder so many people begin to display signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression. It’s all often a direct reflection on the type of society and time we live in. For this very reason alone, emotional intelligence is vital. By being sure of who you are, what you want, what you believe, and by being able to harness and control your feelings, that sense of calmness and balance will override everything else. Instead, you will be able to detox your life of negativity and drama, and focus on the good stuff. That’s what life is about, after all!

      Of course, in a work situation we also need to be able to communicate with a huge variety of different people, thanks to the fact that the world has become so much smaller. Technology has brought the four corners of the planet closer, and that means being able to overcome difficulties and communicate effectively. You might not think that being able to harness your emotions will allow you to do that, but it really can! A sense of confidence and calmness, a sense of knowing that you are right where you need to be and that you’re great at what you do? That is something money can’t buy, and something which will help you bypass many of life’s difficult situations, in work or at home.

      We have never lived in such highly connected, stressful times, and emotional intelligence is now more important than it has ever been before.

      Difference between IQ and EQ

      I’ve been asked about the difference between IQ and EQ several times. People wonder how emotional quotient can be a bigger determinant of our success compared to intelligence quotient.

      Both IQ and EQ are a form of intelligence, only different kinds of intelligence. While IQ measures or evaluates an individual’s cognitive abilities such as logical reasoning, memory, motor skills, and other similar abilities, EQ is a person’s ability to understand and regulate his/her feelings along with those of other people! 

      All the knowledge, formal education, and technical skills you’ve acquired so far contribute to your intelligence quotient. Cognitive abilities and technical skills determine how competent you will be when it comes to performing the actual task. 

      However, this form of intelligence is not sufficient to determine an individual’s life success. In addition to cognitive abilities, we also need to master the art of managing our and other people’s emotions to develop rewarding relationships and be more productive. Unless you are living in the jungle, you need emotional intelligence to deal with other people. 

      Let us look at a scenario to understand how emotional intelligence works versus regular intelligence quotient. You’ve just bagged a highly prestigious and coveted project from a client that several others were vying for. As the project leader, you’ve been given top performers as part of the team. 

      These people are known for their ace technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and vast knowledge. Now, the project involves several hours of back-breaking work. The team may have to stay well past their work hours on weekdays and sometimes work weekends too to finish the project on time. 

      With your own sound knowledge, technical skills, and cognitive abilities, you are capable of leading well. 

      Considering this is a high-pressure project, will you able to convince your team members to put in extra time and effort, while also staying motivated throughout the duration of the
