The author provided insight into what emotional intelligence is and the importance of it. This is such an important part of personal growth and the author did a great job of informing the reader of its importance.

The other kind of smart by Harvey Deutschendorf is a fabulous novel explaining the difference between someone who is book smart and those who are more emotionally intelligent. This dive into what goes into the makings of a successful person is an important topic for people of all ages. I think educators could benefit and use this book to help their students prepare for the real world. Also, managers and CEOs would do well to be familiar with what are a concern or toxic characteristics to watch out for when hiring new people. I myself have noticed this when working in places that arrogance and harshness do not help the company and often cause people to quit. Overall the things talked about in this book should become common knowledge to everyone to make life better.
