What is Emotional Intelligence (EI)? Are we intelligent enough…emotionally? How can we survive and conquer life with emotional intelligence? Are emotional quotient (EQ) and EI the same?

‘Emotional Intelligence 10x’ by Subash Kedia will answer all these questions.

We all want to succeed in life and also in our career — which we have chosen for ourselves but without proper strategy and behaviour — but is this possible at all?

All of us go through an emotional rollercoaster through the day but showcasing our true emotions every time is not appropriate.

Here we have be emotionally intelligent so that there is a win-win situation in our personal as well as professional lives.

Each day exposes us to new experiences, and these are vital to grow and succeed in life.

Workplaces challenge us every day and during these times, the employees need to be balanced, calm with high EQ to win and be satisfied.

Divided into 14 chapters, this book covers all the important areas which must be known by everyone.

It talks about emotional intelligence, self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-management, interpersonal relationships and EQ and EI.

It is very important to know the self in order to master over the other, hence a major portion of the book focuses on self.

Logic and emotion need to balance and this can only be created if one can control and channelize one’s emotions with intelligence.

There are plenty of books in the market dealing with the same topic but in a different way.

Subash Kedia has specifically kept in mind the reader’s perspectives, their hardships and problems so that they can benefit the most.

Also, this book is quite engaging and interesting to read due to its simple and lucid language. 

Often, dangers in life dawn on us suddenly but should we succumb to them or find a way to fight them?

Get the answer in Suhsmita Chatterjee’s book ‘Eka Noi’.

Chatterjee writes in Bengali. The title when translated reads ‘I am not alone’.

A breast cancer survivor, Chatterjee who has taken the initiative to motivate and give positive vibes to those who are suffering from cancer or have successfully overcome it.

It talks about strength and optimism to prepare one’s mind and also the minds of his or her dear ones.

Susmita Chatterjee has bravely fought throughout her treatment and has shared her experience in this book.

Consisting of 15 chapters, this book can provide immense positivity and strength to all the sufferers because it is important to keep oneself stable during this period.

Cancer is not synonymous with death. It can be cured, and one can lead a healthy life after that.

One has to go through several stages of chemotherapy in order to get cured.

However, only chemotherapy is not the solution since it needs a lot of patience and support from others as well.

They should be encouraged and reminded that they are strong and brave, and they can do it with ease.

Cancer leads to many health issues. There is lot of hair fall due to chemotherapy.

However, if the patient is constantly embraced by his or her family and near ones, both emotionally and physically, the former will feel more comfortable and energetic.

Everything that needs to be followed during cancer has been mentioned by the author very systematically and she has used very positive and encouraging words to frame her novel and to suit the purpose behind writing it.

I would like to thank Susmita Chatterjee for writing this amazing book which will be of great help for all the patients as well as survivors.

She has conveyed a very useful message through her book that we are not alone while suffering and fighting with this disease which has taken away so many lives.

The author has been successful in returning to normal life with support from family and friends.

How many of us actually do something to make ourselves happy and peaceful from within?

Most probably the number is quite less, isn’t it?

We often set some goals in life but lack proper coaching which sometimes leads to unfulfilled goals and desires.

Proper coaching is one of the vital things that is needed by an individual to produce satisfying results in both professional and personal lives.

Pijush Kanti Mukherjee, through his book, CoMa Chose Life, has explored the various problems that people face, especially in the corporate world and lose hope to live a successful life.

He has acted as a guide throughout the book to help people like CoMa, the central character, to find the purpose the living and to discover the answers from within in a crisis.

Both the names of the chapters and characters are very unusual and interesting that readers may wonder regarding the origin of the names of the characters.

The author, at the end of the book, has dedicated a chapter to explain the actual meaning of these unusual names which readers need to unravel after reading the book to understand the content better.

Each chapter concludes with an inspiring quote of some popular personality, which induces more depth to the writings and the theme.

CoMa Chose Life is written in a crisp language that is easy to understand and readers will be able to relate to the conditions of CoMa while reading, especially if he or she is working in a corporate organisation.

This is a guide for all who want to find success, happiness and freedom and want to enjoy life to the fullest.

In this world, where rat race prevails, everyone is running after a job by sacrificing their own happiness and by ignoring their loved ones.

However, PiKaMu, the coach of CoMa at the time of his distress, supports him, transforms him and guides him so that he can guide others who face the same problems.

PiKaMu acted as a messiah in CoMa’s life and now CoMa will follow the words of the former to support people life him and coach them since coaching is really important to lead a fulfilling life.

This book is dedicated to everyone since it teaches us the vital lessons of life and to lead life.
