Emotional Intelligence by Dr. David Walton is a book that shows the importance of EQ in our lives. The book mainly focuses on describing what is EQ and its necessity in our lives.
What is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional Intelligence or Emotional Quotient is a measure of ones emotional understanding and stability. The term just like IQ is relative, however, there is no way to measure it.
The Process of Thoughts
Our days productivity depends on the thoughts running in our mind. On the cycle of thoughts that plan our next act. We could be doing great until there is a heated argument with someone, when someone doesnt fulfil their duty and it delays your work. It could also be something as trivial as missing a bus.
In situations like these, it is important to understand the reason why the other did what they did. It is important to hold yourself together and not let the situation affect you.
It’s not the IQ
Though, we are firm believers that IQ is the measures of ones success, but that is not always the case. IQ could get you a nice job, but your success at job, depends on EQ. Dr. Walton shows exactly how, one can emotionally manipulate situations in their favor.
Though most big business owner we look up on seem to have high IQ, but they also have high EQ and we are unaware of it. Most small business, run on strong conversations which comes from high EQ.
The Content
The whole idea of Emotional Intelligence runs deep, and it is hard to capture it entirely. The author instead produced a Read Me First book which gives a brief overlook on the subject. David has shared some few tips and tricks we can use in our daily lives to turn things around for ourselves.
Conclusion
Who should read the book, Everyone! Though the brief content, there is a lot of information one can pick up from the book. The unusual way of presenting a psychological fact in a non-scientific manner is what makes the book stand apart.

Making Your Dreams come True by Marcia Wieder is a book that seeks to pull you out of your comfort zone. Written by someone who left a dream job and set out to San Francisco to chase her dream and fulfill her long lost missions. The book could be broken into 3 simple parts.
Decide What You Want
Most of our lives we are lost in the chase. We are after what everyone else wants, we are studying in grand universities and chasing a dream job. Wieder asks you to question yourself about what you really want. With tricks and tips, she tells you to determine what you, the inner you, wants. Finding out, probably, a long-lost passion.
Remove Self Obstacles
Wieder says that the only thing probably stopping you from getting to your goals is yourself. If you remove your self-doubt and have a little more belief in yourself, you will get where you want to be. All the materialistic and worldly problems are inefficient to stop you, if you think you can beat them.
Take Simple Steps Towards IT
Once you’ve decided what you want, there’s nothing that could stop a person chasing their passion, says Wieder, but wait! Don’t run, don’t jump onto something. Nothing is done in a day. It takes years to build something from scratch, that’s what you are out for. Take it slow, one step at a time, you have your goal ahead of you not break it down into easy steps and work towards it.
You’ll reach there, slowly, eventually, but when you’ll be there there’s nothing you’ve felt like it.
Verdict
Though a good read, there are books that explore each area of the book more deeply and In a much better way. Its the appearance of Wieder on TV that attracts in curious readers and thinker who want inspiration from someone already on the peak of the mountain.

Sometimes You Win Sometimes You Learn, by John C. Maxwell is not a book that will quote the same idioms that we have heard a million times. Never give up, Failure is not final and all the others you are tired of listening to. Its not a book that will tell you how to be a winner, it is more of turning not wins, into wins.
Maxwell, very briefly, but very often quote that the best teacher is not experience, it is the evaluated experience. He sets out a loose foundation, a framework to turn losses into gains.
The Traps or The Paths
The eleven elements could be called the traps that people tend to fall into, when they are struck by failure, or when they see things not going their way, or they could be called the path that the fallen take to build up back to where they were and where they want to be.
The eleven elements are general, and they are not a very strong piece of advice, its nothing you wouldn’t have heard of in a different book. However, how you learn the way to them, is what makes the book different.
Stand Apart
In Sometimes You Win Sometimes You Learn, unlike most authors, Maxwell explains terms with his personal experience. He shares his mishaps, failures and mistakes. It makes it easier for the reader to connect with Maxwell, owing to the relatable content and what does he mean when he takes an action.
His sensible insight and his way of looking back at things, while most say, never look back, is what keeps the reader bound to the text. The clear framing of all the topics over 13 distinct chapters with no repeated content, makes the read un-boring or rather, a pleasure.
Conclusion
Maxwell doesnt guide you to the mark of the victory, he just tells you that not winning: is inevitable and we shall learn from it to winning. And I say, not winning because according to him, failure is off the table. Since those who learn from their mistakes, win, well eventually.

Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink is book with no sugar coating. Jocko an ex-Navy SEAL has kept his point direct and concise.
According to Jockos writing, discipline is a two-staged concept, the thought and the action.
The Thought
The book is divided neatly, Jocko first explains the process of his thought. The way you should look at your target and break into points of action. The thought should be under your control, and there should be only one target. Next, he tells to convert the plan into action.
Me Versus Me
The biggest problem between you and your goals is yourself. There is no way you can achieve something without overcoming yourself and the excuses you make to avoid things. Jocko says,
You are tired, Get to work.
You are sick, Get to work.
You are depressed, Get to work.
Its your friends birthday, Get to work.
There are no breaks in the life of a Navy SEAL and there shouldn’t be any in yours if you want to get somewhere. There is no reason why you should walk away from something you want, or only because it is easy to get.
The Content
The formatting of the book and the content is nothing like a self-help book writer will want to have. The font is huge and not standard Times, moreover it is printed in white on black paper. The book is a really fast read owing to the little text it has. The little text does not kill the feel, in fact, it emphasizes it – to the point, concise and harsh. There’s nothing like motivation. Its all about what you got to do and you have to do it.
Conclusion
The overall book is a great read. A quick, to the point with no sugar coating. Jocko takes your goal, makes a plan and tells you, You got to do this. There is no shortcut, no hack, nothing works. There is no procrastination, just get to work.
