Mind Over Matter: The Power of Emotional Intelligence - Hardcover

Mind over Matter: The Power of Emotional Intelligence” expands on the nature of Emotional Intelligence, which involves better self-awareness of our emotions, those of others and restrain our emotions so that we can optimize our relationship strategies. It is when we are under stress that we revert to behaviors that protect our emotional well-being, and while these reactions can serve us well- as adults they frequently no longer do so. Emotions are an integral part of who we are. With Emotional Intelligence we are able to take back control of our emotions and thinking –rather than be their prisoner - and in this way we will improve our relationships. It is an empowering and timely book that adds value to our lives, and allows us to act in ways that matter- even when no-one is looking- because this defines who we are.
