Change Your Habits, Change Your Life: A Powerful New Way to Increase Your Emotional Intelligence

Travis Bradberry • Travis Bradberry • 2023

Greater Self-Awareness

by David Meyer

Travis Bradberry, PhD, co-author of the bestseller, Emotional Intelligence 2.0., provides tools to increase your EQ and improve your relationship with yourself and others.

Author Travis Bradberry promises that you can develop your emotional intelligence (EQ) and improve your personal and professional life. He designed his book to equip you to increase your EQ, build self-confidence, and relate better to others, and he makes you believe in your potential to execute those changes. This is Bradberry’s second work on emotional intelligence; he co-authored the 2009 bestseller Emotional Intelligence 2.0. 

Emotional Intelligence (EQ)

Your senses take in information, basically sending electric signals to your brain. Before reaching your prefrontal cortex, these signals pass through your emotion generating limbic system. You can’t control which emotions arise, but Bradberry teaches that you can learn how to react to them and then manage them. This requires identifying your feelings and coming to know – based on your history – which “trigger events” can cause you to have longer, stronger, harder to manage emotional reactions.
