This is an interesting book I believe every individual should read. There is so much to learn. Emotional intelligence is one of the skills a lot of us lack and need on a daily basis. Looking forward to learning more.

What an educative book! Emotional intelligence is an attribute every employee should have, because when emotions not handled properly, it can affect our productivity in the workplace.

It seems this read could be very helpful; the author talks about EQ (emotional quotient), though, generally the people are more inclined towards IQ. One important aspect of this read would be the discussion around making valuable business negotiations with a good EQ. Thank you for this nice review!

Finally, a book that would be useful in helping a professional navigate the work-life balance. Emotional intelligence is as much, if not more, important than intelligence quotient. Thank you for the analysis!

This is the first time I've seen someone discuss the role of emotional intelligence at work. I'm both incredibly curious and reluctant (Emotions aren't exactly something people in business are open about.) It's also interesting that the reviewer pointed out the lack of references to scientific proof— I wish I could see those too.

One needs to learn how to react and behave in a work environment and everywhere else. The book is for a large audience. Regardless of where you find yourself. Emotional intelligence is important. Thanks for the review.

This review provides valuable insights into the book "Emotional Intelligence At Work" by Richard M. Contino and Penelope J. Holt. The reviewer highlights the importance of emotional intelligence in our careers and praises the book for its practical approach in identifying emotional needs at the workplace. The reviewer also appreciates the strategies for business negotiations discussed in the book. However, they mention the lack of scientific justifications and minor errors as areas for improvement. Overall, the reviewer rates the book 4 out of 4 stars and recommends it to knowledge workers. A great choice for those looking to enhance their business EQ. Powerful emotions, stirred something deep within me.
