What is the formula for success at your job? As a spouse? A parent? The EQ Edge: Emotional Intelligence and Your Success, examines the dynamics of emotional intelligence (or emotional quotient) and shows how it can bolster success in both work and personal life. While IQ can predict success in academic achievements, the real key to professional, personal and social success relates to EQ. Unlike IQ, which is relatively fixed after age 17, EQ can be learned and enhanced. It is EQ that allows us to understand and manage ourselves better, to develop strong collaborative relationships, to adapt to day-to-day changing demands and challenges, and to cope with stress.
