Before knowing the concepts of this interesting science ..

We should know

When Scientists realized that

1. There's not much point to either wealth or reltationships if you aren't happy.

2. It is hard to be happy with others if you aren't happy alone.

3. It is hard to be happy alone if you don't feel good about yourself.

4. It is hard to have good feelings about yourself if you don't have good
emotional management skills.

Therefore , they concluded that : Emotional management skills are one of the
fundamental ingredients of happiness.

What exactly is "EQ"?

EQ stands for Emotional Quotient. It borrows from the term "Intelligence

Quotient," and is often used interchangeably with "Emotional Intelligence."

What is your definition of Emotional Intelligence?

Emotional intelligence is the innate

potential to feel, use, communicate,
recognize, remember, describe,
identify, learn from, manage,
understand and explain emotions.

A simpler definition might be: Knowing what feels good, what feels bad, and
how to get from bad to good.
What's the difference between EQ & IQ??

Emotional intelligence refers to the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and
those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in
ourselves and in our relationships , and it's controlled by right brain side
Also, they are acquired life long
.Intelligence Quotient - the purely cognitive capacities measured by IQ
.It's controlled by left brain side
(But IQ isn't acquired after the age of 21 (ie. Grown ups

Why is it receiving so much attention?

As it shows the clear relationship between the emotions, brain chemistry,

happiness, good health, and general success in life

Our emotions are the way our bodies talk to us and tell us what they need to
be healthy and happy. Emotions were designed through millions of years of
evolutionary refinement to help us survive and thrive. If we don't listen to the
messages our emotions are sending, we ensure our own unhappiness, while
risking ill health and early death.

EI = Heart + Brain

People with healthy emotional skills, or "high EQ" are happier, healthier, and
more successful in their relationships.

Such people show all of the following:

A balance between emotion and reason

An awareness of their own feelings

Empathy and compassion for others

Signs of high self-esteem

Salovey and Mayer 's Model (The Four branch Model) of emotional

voices
2. Using emotions – the ability to harness emotions to facilitate various
cognitive activities, such as thinking and problem solving
3. Understanding emotions – the ability to comprehend emotion language
and to appreciate complicated relationships among emotions
4. Managing emotions – the ability to regulate emotions in both ourselves
and in others.
