Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say Emotional Intelligence 2.0 is practical, easy to read, and helpful for self-improvement, leadership, and managing emotions. Many praise the self-assessment and actionable tips, while a recurring complaint is that the access code is sometimes missing or already used.
On Goodreads, many readers similarly like the short, actionable format and the included online test, but some negative reviews say the book feels shallow or overly self-promotional. Reddit discussions are mixed: some users recommend it as a useful intro to EQ, while others criticize the assessment and call the book overrated or a farce.
A review blog on LinkedIn gave it a low rating and described it as controversial, which matches the split opinions seen elsewhere. Overall, the product seems best received by readers looking for quick, practical EQ advice rather than deep theory.
