Why is this so important?

Research substantiates this simple observation. A 40-year longitudinal investigation of 450 boys found that IQ had little relation to life success. The most significant predictors were

being able to handle frustration, control emotions, get along with other people.

Another study followed 80 scientists over the course of 40 years and found that social and emotional abilities were four times more important than IQ in determining professional

success and prestige.

Even more surprising, a study of retired National Football League players found that emotional intelligence predicted 62% of the variation in life success.

And finally, a 2011 survey of 2,600 hiring managers found that 71% of them valued EQ over IQ.

This is why.
