Emotional intelligence for teenagers: Getting it right with your emotions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798386164942)

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a term that has gained significant popularity in recent years, especially in the context of personal and professional development. The concept of emotional intelligence refers to the ability to understand, manage, and effectively express one's own emotions while also being able to recognize and respond to the emotions of others.

EI is comprised of several components, including self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Self-awareness involves recognizing and understanding one's own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Self-regulation refers to the ability to manage and control one's emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in a positive and productive manner.

Motivation is the driving force behind an individual's actions and is closely tied to emotional intelligence. Individuals with high levels of emotional intelligence are typically self-motivated and driven to achieve their goals. Empathy involves understanding and experiencing the emotions of others and responding in a compassionate and supportive manner.
