Features: What is emotional intelligence (EQ)? In 1983, Howard Gardner, a psychologist at Harvard University, proposed the concept of "multiple intelligences" in his book Frames of Mind, which marked the beginning of the theory of EQ. In 1991, Peter Salovey from Yale University and Joan Mayer from the University of New Hampshire coined the term EQ (Emotional Quotient). In 1995, Daniel Goleman, a columnist for The New York Times, published the book Emotional Intelligence, bringing EQ to its peak. EQ caused a sensation in the United States and became wildly popular worldwide. The introduction of the EQ concept was the second revolution in human intelligence, with its main ideas including: EQ is a crucial survival skill for individuals, a quality factor that helps to develop emotional potential and use emotional abilities to influence all aspects of life and the future of one's life. To achieve success in society, what plays the primary role is not intellectual factors but emotional intelligence, with the former accounting for 20% and the latter for 80%. Based on summarizing existing EQ theories, this book distills a set of simple, effective, and practical training methods. Through reading and training, individuals can significantly improve their EQ scores, thereby achieving success in both personal life and career.
