The most practical book on emotional intelligence available, with over three million copies sold. Bradberry and Greaves break EQ into four learnable skills and provide 66 specific strategies for improvement.

Why Start Here

This is the book that made Bradberry and Greaves’ reputation, and it remains the best entry point into their work. The four-skill framework (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management) gives you a clear map of emotional intelligence that you can immediately apply.

The book includes access to the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal, an online assessment that has been taken by millions of people worldwide. Taking the test before reading gives you a personalized starting point, and the strategies in each chapter are designed to target specific skill gaps. This assessment-plus-strategy approach makes the book unusually actionable.

What to Expect

A concise, direct book at 255 pages designed for busy professionals. The writing is clear and practical, focused on what to do rather than why it matters. You can read it in a weekend and start applying the strategies immediately.
