BOOK DESCRIPTION

Genius-level Emotional Intelligence is now in reach for YOU. By reading this book, you will have more insight into emotion than 98% of people! Whether you seek Emotional Genius for business, leadership, relational or personal reasons, this gets you there NOW.

You're asking, “He seems like he’s angry all the time; what does that mean?” 

Or maybe, “Why do I feel so hopeless?” 

Perhaps, “Do I have to live with this guilt my whole life?” 

Possibly, “I know what I should do, but I’m afraid. How do I deal with that?”

Maybe your questions are about managers, team members, or clients. Maybe your questions are about friends, family or yourself!

The big question behind them all: “What do I DO?”

Fear, anger, hopelessness, guilt, doubt, overwhelm, and more. You want to know what to do about it. Maybe you’ve wondered, “What does it say about me?” What you really need to know is “What is it saying something TO me?”

Happiness, Confidence, Love, Gratitude and more. These you want more often. You want to know how to get it, how to keep it, and how to get back there any time you want. Is there a way? 

Yes, there absolutely is. You will know exactly how.

Dr. Conway has the answer. It’s a simple secret that makes high level Emotional Intelligence and emotional self-control available for you. One simple secret, and suddenly it all makes sense.

Conway became an expert on Emotional Intelligence in the trenches of talking down violent men from rioting and saving people from the brink of suicide. With life and limb literally on the line, he was either right, or someone was going to get hurt. He was right. Rarely is any man given the opportunity to have his ideas tested and proven so right so many times for so long. 

His idea is brilliant in its simplicity: Emotions are a Language. That’s the big secret. Now you know. You know the big secret and you haven't even read the book, yet.

He teaches you about Emotions of Duplication, what they are, how they work, why they work that way, and how you get more of those. It also explains why so many people do the “obvious” and it too often simply does not work.

He tells you all about Emotions of Change. It’s even more important to understand these. Why? Because these are the emotions you don’t like, and they are there to tell you “something must change.” If you don’t change, you’ll feel them more than we want. That may already be your experience! 

If you somehow avoid them without changing something, you miss important things. If you stuff negative emotions, it’s like seeing a warning light on the dash of your car and “solving” the problem by putting tape over the light! There’s something there! If you ignore it while it’s just an emotion, it might show up in other ways… maybe with a much higher price to pay!

Emotional IQ is packed with answers. Take a look at the Table of Contents, and you will see all the things that are covered in this book.

Conway provides a very concrete, step-by-step system so you quickly leap from very ordinary levels of Emotional IQ to extraordinary levels of Emotional Genius!

Business people, leaders and up-and-coming leaders benefit from understanding what’s going on with their clients and key team members. Family members gain incredible insight into what’s really going on at home when their spouse or child feels something intensely. And of most immediate importance – we understand what’s going on inside of us – and EXACTLY what to do about it.

Answers are right here. If you want to understand emotions, this book is exactly the tool you want. If you need to cut past the emotion to communicate effectively on critical issues, add this book to your library right now. If you want to learn the foundation to gain almost magical insight into what’s really going on inside of others, read Emotional IQ.

Recommended with Emotional IQ are Dr. Conway’s books Above It All and Freedom Found.

AUTHOR BIO

Scot Conway, Ph.D., J.D., 8th degree Black Belt

"Just one thing." That's all Conway claims to know. Yet he is prolific across so many topics! What does he mean by "just one thing"?

Conway has worked as an attorney at law, and a real estate broker, both licenses he continues to hold in the State of California, United States of America. He pastors at QX Church, teaches at the Guardian Quest Martial Arts Dojo, counsels, mentors and coaches. He does keynote speaking and organizational training. He writes, and he also produces audio training programs. How is all that from "just one thing"?

It started with six-year-old Scot Conway walking into his first martial arts class holding his mother's hand. That quiet, shy, little first grade boy had no idea what lay before him. All he knew as a kid was that he wanted to be a super hero.

High school began to show a little of what he was made of. Earning his varsity letter, leading the gaming club, leading the school literary magazine, an officer in the fencing club, and winning the Patriot of the Year award hinted at things to come. College would follow, with law school after that, and finally, a Ph.D. That first martial arts class would lead to master ranks, eventually to the highest rank allowed in his art to a person his age.

These days, there is a thing called Attention Deficit Disorder, and Conway fits the criteria, but he wields it as an asset. He did the same with his dyslexia. He was trained through his martial arts to harness his scattering mind to learn a great many things. He harnessed the way his brain flips things around to see the world differently. The end result is a man who has what looks like a stunning breadth of knowledge and skill.

He calls it "just one thing" because it's all connected. No subject on which he writes, teaches, or trains exists in a vacuum. There are common principles found in all of them that weave together and bind it all together. He breaks it up for us and teaches us how to apply these principles in area after area of our business, our relationships, our internal lives and the rest of life.

Read enough, listen to enough, and train with Conway enough and you begin to see what he means. More importantly, you begin to see how to do it for yourself. That, ultimately, is Conway's goal. He does not desire to be our guru. He wants to facilitate us being our own guru, our own leader, and the master of our own lives.

Conway shares what he knows so we can make our own decisions and our own discoveries. His desire is to see us unleashed as true Masters of Life.

REVIEW

5.0 out of 5 stars Wisdom from a reformed emotional idiot October 2, 2012

Scot Conway used to be an emotional idiot. He says so right here in black and white. And now he's writing a book on becoming an emotional genius. I used to be an emotional idiot, too. I have probably advanced at least to emotional moron. Obviously, I have read a lot about emotions, what they mean, and what to do about them. I didn't know that the author of this book was a reformed emotional idiot until well after I started reading it, but by the time he mentioned it, it was clear to me that he had earned the right to write about emotional genius at least in part by learning the hard way. Then he became a pastoral counselor and learned how to help other people.

I haven't gotten all the way through his book yet, but I have already come across some ideas I can immediately put to good use. Nearly all of his ideas are very simple, practical, and expressed is ways that will be easy to remember--once I and all his other readers work past our inherent resistance to change. It's one of those books that must be read at least three times without too much time between readings. And then, of course, we must actually practice in order to follow these simple, practical instructions.

After all, simple is not the same thing as easy. Emotions tend to ambush people. It's one thing to understand with the mind what to do in a particular situation and quite another to remember it in time of need. One of the great things about this book is that Conway provides plenty of things to practice in privacy. Not only does he help me recognize some of my emotional shortcomings, but he points out the stinking thinking that causes me to fall short.

Once I'm persuaded in my own mind that I need to change my thinking, I can work on it. And succeed. The alternative? I get into an emotional stew and then have someone else urging me to change my thinking. Everyone reading this review ought to know what happens then: I go on the defensive, and the more fervently the other person points out my faults, the more determined I am to stick to my guns. Or perhaps they make their point. In that case, instead of being encouraged that I can do something positive, I simply feel humiliated.

I have read lots of books and articles about dealing with emotion. Most of them have been helpful in one way or another. I don't remember anything else that lets me feel like I can actually do anything about my own struggles starting immediately.
