one of the best things i committed to learning early on in my career was emotional intelligence. understanding emotions, studying the human neuro-system, understanding how we think what we think. human beings by nature are emotional creatures. but there is no logic in a mind crowded with emotions. it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have any, it just means you need to learn how to control them. and to control them, you need to understand how they work. i see people let their emotions get in the way of their goals and dreams every day. someone hurts your feelings, someone breaks your heart etc and you automatically check out for a week.
understanding human emotions is also a good way to gain self confidence. because once you look at things from a logical stand point, the less affect there is on how things make you feel. we humans make too many things about ourselves. we do too many things to fill emotional voids. where, if you took your feelings, pity parties or guilt trips out of the picture- you wouldn’t be clouded and can look at the glass half full.
some of the books i read and highly recommend y’all read are:
Emotional Intelligence 2.0
HBR- On Emotional Intelligence
7 Habits of Highly Effective People
