EQ+MH=PH, Emotions! How to live an Emotionally Effective Life?

“How emotional you are!” So often we hear this comment from a friend or a family member. Mostly we fumble as we think of a response because we do not know what to say as we cannot relate to what it means to be ‘emotional.’ Emotions make us human. They give us information about what is going on inside us. Emotional Quotient (EQ) is the level of awareness of what is taking place or going to take place. It is the ability to comprehend and use that knowledge effectively. Emotions help us reflect on how we are mentally equipped to give our life direction. Our emotional responses make us win friends, build healthy relationships or lose them. It is our EQ that allows us to stay ahead at work, and be focused and cheerful. In recent times there is a lot of focus on one dimension of human well-being, physical health. But then, physical health is just one part of our overall health. A partial one. The equation to have a healthy life begins with a healthy and high EQ plus a healthy mind. Once these two, our emotional quotient (EQ) and mental health (MH) are in place then our physical health (PH) will be in good shape. If we have a high EQ then even if we have any physical illness it will not make us stressed or discouraged to live a good and effective life. This seems understandable and logical but is very difficult to follow. This is where this book helps. Not only to open the perspective of well-being and health to have a multidimensional outlook but also to sustain it. too,
