In this book you will find a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of human behavior from the point of view of social psychology and will be able to understand yourself and the people around you. Let's face it - most of the problems we face in our lives have nothing to do with the situation, but with the person in front of you. Whether it's a parent, sibling, colleague, or even a loved one, misunderstandings can arise when communicating with them. This is reasonable and normal. But what if you could learn to understand people, their motives and intentions, and ultimately how to better communicate with them? That's Patrick King's job: to show you, based on the latest scientific research, the distilled emotional intelligence that helps you understand why people do what they do. Emotional intelligence combines a person's natural instinct to analyze their own and others' needs with skills in this area that will bring you the end result you desire: better relationships, higher self-esteem and confidence, self-understanding and self-differentiation, and overall satisfaction and happiness.
