Achieving Emotional Literacy : A Personal Program to Increase Your Emotional Intelligence

High IQ alone doesn't make a person smart, without emotional intelligence-- the ability to understand and manage your feelings and the feelings of others-- your chances of having a successful and happy life are very slim. Dr. Claude Steiner has taught emotional literacy to groups and individuals for twenty years. His writings and work shops have opened the door to emotional power, happiness, success and satisfying relationships for thousands of people. Now, in this step-by-step pro gram, Dr. Steiner tells you how to increase your own emotional literacy. Many people go through life keeping their wounded feelings locked inside, creating anxiety, anger, fear, depression, and ill health. This inability to talk about feelings can destroy the possibility for healthy relationships. In his practice and workshops, Dr. Steiner has counseled:

the lover who can't commit
The husband who won't communicate
The wife who suffers from bouts of depression
The boss who gets no respect
The employee who is miserable at his job
And others whose negative responses destroy relationships

In Achieving Emotional Literacy, you will find Dr. Steiner's clear and systematic response to the emotional blocks that hold us back. He will tell you how to reverse the dangerous self-destructive emotional patterns that can rule a per son's life. His program shows you how to open your heart and mind to honest and effective communication, how to survey the emotional landscape, and finally how to take responsibility for your emotional life.

Achieving Emotional Literacy gives you the tools to develop meaningful and loving personal relationships, become more effective in business situations, and bring new joy and satisfaction into every aspect of your life.
