“People are not disturbed by things; they are disturbed by their view of things” Epictetus AD 55 – 135
Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control, and evaluate emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while others claim it is an inborn characteristic. EI has been defined as, “the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions.”
“Go Suck A Lemon” hopes to provide readers with methods for improving emotional intelligence by offering cognitive skill building techniques, thereby helping to create a less self-defeating and more manageable, enriching experience when expressing emotion.

Quotes

  • Tatiana Severinahas quoted6 years ago
    Absolute musts are inflexible models of behavior that most of us respect, but often fall short of achieving, ourselves. No one, including you, can live h/er entire lives in an ideal state. Make a lot of room for imperfection by curbing or even eliminating the words should, ought, must, have to and need from our vocabulary and our emotional intelligence may likely grow by leaps and bounds.
  • Tatiana Severinahas quoted6 years ago
    It appears that modern humankind often confuses a rude, uncooperative person with a hungry black bear. To our primitive, un-evolved stress response, criticism and black bears are identical.
  • Tatiana Severinahas quoted6 years ago
    Psycho–social conditions can instigate biological complications by predisposing the patient to unpredicted risk factors. Cancer, schizophrenia, diabetes, depression, anxiety or even a broken ankle are each best treated from a whole person perspective.
