It’s thoughtfully designed and surprisingly hard to “game,” which made the results feel more honest and more useful.The book opens with an unforgettable story about surfer Mick Fanning surviving a shark attack, and how his emotional intelligence helped him bounce back and return to peak performance. That story hooked me right away and set the tone for the rest of the book: real people, real challenges, and EQ strategies that help you rise above.If you’re looking to better understand your emotions, navigate tough moments, and build stronger relationships (without wading through academic jargon), this book delivers.

This book blew me away!!! The assessment alone was worth the price, I honestly think the value from this is worth 3x-5x as much as it's being sold for. Super insightful and spot-on. Practical and easy stratgeies to implement, not just theory. You can tell this is backed by real science, but it’s written in a way that’s totally relatable to how life is like currently. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to level up personally or professionally.
