From childhood, we are taught to restrain, suppress or ignore our emotions: angry or envious is bad, sad or jealous is wrong. However, the ability to recognize emotions - both your own and others - allows you to adequately respond to them. Therefore, it is so important to develop your emotional intelligence: those people who know how to make informed decisions in stressful situations, can correctly respond to criticism and are capable of empathy, are more successful both in their personal lives and at work. In her book, well-known personal growth expert Jill Hasson teaches you how to deal with situations when you are overwhelmed with emotions, how to identify the emotional needs of others, and how not to fall into the emotional traps of other people.
