It was interesting to read about how emotional intelligence had changed the author's life and how it influenced the working area. Using the Navy as an example was a great way to exemplify how it applies to all areas, as opposed to being occupation specific. Although I found the book to be a tad "wordy", it had some interesting points that I had not thought of before. I'm excited to learn and increase my emotional intelligence in the coming weeks (and hopefully for life).

Two Minutes of Mindfulness

My mind kept wandering quite a lot, and it was difficult to bring it back to my breathing so often I reverted to the "easier" method. I've always wanted to practice meditation so hopefully this is the starting step to that.
