Review
Jane Wharam's book, Emotional Intelligence, provides a giant step towards emotional mastery. With it, you can know yourself better, understand how to react in ways that improve the quality of your life, and learn how to build beautiful relationships with wonderful friends. --Owen Waters, author of The Shift: The Revolution in Human Consciousness.
Jane Wharam s delightful book Emotional Intelligence; Journey to the Centre of Your Self is one that brings this most important topic back into the realm of the understandable. Daniel Goleman, of course, achieved best seller status with his book back in 1995, which shows us just how much interest there is in the topic. Since his was a long, sometimes ponderous, and often over-cautious academic treatise that probably drove many readers away before finishing the book. --Dr Allan G Hunter, author of The Six Archetypes of Love and Stories We Need to Know as well as two books on writing for self-exploration, Life Passages and The Sanity Manual.

Jane Wharam's book `Emotional Intelligence' is a great personal development book and I really enjoyed reading it. There have been many books written on this fascinating topic, some of which I have read, and Wharam's is high on my list of favourites. I like her writing style and the competent way she imparts her knowledge.
Perhaps one of the most talked about books on this topic was written by Daniel Goleman, who Wharam refers to in her book. Wharam's take on the same subject however is much easier to comprehend and this meant I got so much more from her book than I did from similar books I've read.
I particularly liked the section titled `What Are Emotions' which talks about immediate, or instinctive, emotions and secondary emotions which require some degree of thought. The book explains how to recognise these emotional signs in ourselves and in others and looks at the emotional skills we may need to learn. Sections on `emotional vocabulary' and `empathy' were also great chapters that provided some very useful insights for me.
The book includes some self assessment questions which were incredibly thought provoking, and there are also short exercises throughout the book that helped the information I was reading `stick'. It's a fascinating subject and having a high degree of emotional intelligence, some would say, is more important that having a high IQ. I have to agree with this as it seems emotional intelligence may be the backbone of a happy and fulfilling life.
Jane Wharam's first book hits the spot and I highly recommend it. I very much look forward to reading more of Wharam's work.

This a pretty reasonable introduction to the subject. It is a personal book, however, and not for people who are not ready to confront themselves or for people wanting the "business" angle. This is going to be about YOU. The real beauty of the book is that it is very readable and easy to grasp. If I have criticisms it's only in the way that the author clearly has a strong sense of her femininity, which (being a man) made some sections a little harder to relate to. You have to do the exercises, however, to get the real value of the book, and you can't skimp on taking the time to reflect on what is being shared.

I first heard of emotional intelligence many years ago but had not come across a book written by a "real person" for "real people" which was easy to understand and which I could relate to. I've had real problems with emotional problems and trying to control my temper and whilst reading this book (particularly the section on `Your Inner Child') my eyes were opened and I completely understood what my problem was. This book really has changed my life for the better
