Studies have shown that having a high IQ doesn’t guarantee success, it’s your emotional intelligence that counts. Dr. Travis Bradberry, co-author of Emotional Intelligence 2.0 ($19.95), has found that people with high EQ (emotional quotient) scores tend to make more money than their low-scoring peers by an average of $29,000/year. The good news is emotional intelligence can be learned, so you don’t have to settle for what you were born with. Emotional Intelligence 2.0 helps readers identify areas in which they’re strong and where they need to improve in four key areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management.
