EXPLORATION OF INNER SPACE: TRANSFORMATION OF YOUR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ) - New Thought Edition - Volume III (LIFE FOCUS SERIES (New Thought))

This book is the third of three volumes to go with its companion editions EMOTIONAL ROAD LESS TRAVELED (Volume One) and JOURNEY FROM THERE BACK TO HERE (Volume Two). Each of the three books focuses on improving the readers Emotional Intelligence (EQ) score. Emotional Intelligence is the capacity to experience and express one’s emotions appropriately, in addition to handling interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically. It includes the understanding that emotions drive behavior and impact each individual positively or negatively. Emotional Intelligence is related more to what is presently happening, for it is used to identify and manage emotions in the moment. Research shows convincingly Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is more decisive than Intelligence Quotient (IQ) on many levels; some studies report it is five times more likely than IQ to predict a compelling level of success. It’s debatable if IQ is inherently fixed and unchangeable, but EQ is unequivocally viewed as a fluid set of skills that can be greatly improved through increased awareness and commitment to a heightened level of self-inquiry. Improving your EQ Score is an arbitrary number achieved through personalized reasoning, both objectively and subjectively—in this publication, there is no standardized score. It doesn’t matter what your baseline is gauged to be (High, Medium, or Low) as you open the book to commence reading. The important thing to know at the final written word, unprejudiced progress was made in mastering the content. If you truthfully attest to having consciously integrated the material, then your EQ Score has taken a quantum leap. Each lesson (aka chapter) concludes with Points to Ponder (PTP), which helps the reader to internalize the life-changing insights. PTP include unique observations, followed by suggested applications, and a personal affirmation reinforcing the topic under discussion.
