VBT# EQ Librium - Yvette Bethel

 

Review: EQ Librium - Yvette Bethel - March 2012
One of the things I love is learning about myself and last year I did a course at work all about Emotional Intelligence , so when I had the opportunity to read and review EQ Librium, I jumped at the chance as I find all this information quite interesting and useful. EQ Librium is basically a guide that every working person and especially if you find yourself in a managing position that you should read as it is helpful and will open your mind to a whole lot of new ways to cope with your emotions and the emotive state of others around you.  The book is split into two parts, the first is the theories and the different information specs about your emotions - which often if you are not a reader, you could find a tad boring as it does feel like it goes on and on. The second half is the perfect balance for those who love practical work as it is filled with excercises and reflections and to put into practice what you have covered in Part #1. The book is fairly easy to read, with any jargon explained in boxes throughout, there are plenty of case studies throughout demonstrating how the techniques explained actually work, I found these particularly helpful. E.Q. Librium is very worth reading if you work in an office, manage people or aspire to management. Having a better grip on your emotions will help you manage your own life if nothing else. 

EQ Librium will help you gather your thoughts and help in your journey to success with  becoming  emotionally self-aware; managing your emotions; diffusing those emotionally charged situations; strengthening  your leadership skills, building  healthy work relationships; and enhancing your performance.
