Great read, I have never left a comment in reviews before and am doing so because this book made me want to tell someone about it. The exercises are so simple but immensely powerful. I plan on buying a copy of this book just to be able to page through and go over exercises. Ian, I hope you are still reading every comment and jumping for joy. you wrote a great book that will help many people. 10/10

    5.0 out of 5 stars YES! You can become friends with your emotions!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2017

    The study of our brain is fascinating. I think you might call it the new frontier in both physiological and psychological points of view. In its most simplistic state, the brain is a mass of gray matter which resides in our head. It is the control center of our motor functions and intelligence. What makes it incredibly complex is this non-physical thing called the mind. Enter EQ and Ian Tuhovsky’s book EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Emotions and Raising your EQ.

    I like the notion of “making friends” with your emotions. I like to think of it this way: the brain is the machine, the mind is a cocktail of emotional lubricants that run us ragged from one extreme to the other. To say that I enjoy a “friendly” relationship with my emotions may be stretching it.

    In this book on Emotional Intelligence, Ian explains and then shows us how we can in fact be the masters of our mind, control our emotions and yes, become friends. He begins with a basic, simple exercise on how to identify feelings fed by fear, anxiety, stress, happiness, joy, and more. This image centered exercise takes us through a gamut of emotions, imagery manipulation, dealing with the situation, and finally control. It can be anchored in the past, or future cast. I tried this exercise over a few days and found that yes, I can become friends with my emotions.

    That is just one of the exercises. I have earmarked the book for daily use. Master one exercise and take on another. Each one integrates with the other. Instantly actionable these exercises will increase your confidence and help you make good decisions in your life. Highly
    recommend this book.

    I admire Ian Tuhovsky's dedication to writing books of good quality. I have read most of his books and all of them were written intelligently, well-researched, thought of carefully and always were written with good intentions.

    I liked every chapter of this book. The exercises were easy to follow, the LBR was fun and I am looking forward to do the other exercises with my friends and family. This book full of information and ideas which are really helpful, as well as techniques and exercises which are proven to be effective. Excellent! I highly recommend it!

    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2015

    Emotional Intelligence; A Practical Guide To Making Friends With Your Emotions and Raising Your EQ by Ian Tuhovsky appealed to me because of my own desire to increase my wisdom around emotional intelligence (even though I’m logically and intuitively aware that there are gifted and /or talented people who do not believe in emotional intelligence). I’m always thirsting for knowledge as other people do and feel fortunate that I’m married to a supportive spouse who is understanding and encouraging of me studying various topics (such as those involving emotional intelligence). The following are some of the topics discussed in this book;
    The authors discussion of emotional intelligence (EQ) that was made popular by Daniel Goleman (pages 22-25).
    Chapter 7-Is This Thought Real-The authors explanation of reframing thoughts for better outcomes (pages 60-65).
    Chapter 15- How To Forgive (starts on page 123)- I’m still in the process of improving my ability to let go and forgive. However, I can truly say that I’m at least improving in this area compared to just a year ago. The author explains a way to see the positive intent behind whatever experience triggers the forgiveness test.
    Chapter 17 Perceptual Positions are discussed and the multiple sides of the story facet (starts on page 132).

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read to reinvent yourself and become whoever you choose to be
    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This is a book loaded with wisdom that will give you ways to understand your thoughts, why you think that way, deal with your internal conflicts, and embrace positive emotions. What's more, it systematically teaches you to go through your own thinking process, guides you to analyze it, and helps you come up with effective and actionable solutions. One great feature of the book is that it comes with a lot of exercises you can take advantage of to implement different techniques mentioned throughout this book such as "re-framing", which means how to stop negative perceptions or emotions and establish new beliefs and positive emotions. This is also a book of motivation that will help you become more positive, peaceful and intelligent should you follow the teachings within the book.

    I highly recommend this book to anyone!

    What do JK Rowling, Steve Jobs and Harland Sanders have in common? They failed. And they succeeded. Why? Because they are optimistic, courageous, embrace change and aren’t afraid of failure. Simply put, they have a high EQ. Do I want a better life? A happier, more fulfilling, more satisfying life/friendships/career? You bet! And this is why I am going through this book, chapter by chapter, exercise by exercise, as the author recommends and applying the lessons I’m learning. What do I have to lose? What does anyone have to lose? Am I right?
