I was just reading an article about Elon Musk’s supposedly controversial 1:20 AM memo to Tesla employees and I stumbled upon Justin Bariso’s book EQ Applied. Well, “stumbled” may be a misleading word choice as the article was written by him so a shameless self plug makes sense.

Regardless of the introduction, the book looks interesting and even delves into the “dark side” of emotional intelligence. I have no intention to utilize something so unethical, but just like the often-abused practice of NLP I’m quite curious to read up on it. As usual, if I grab the book I’ll do a short post marking my start date.

Have you read Justin’s book? I’d love to hear from folks in the comments who have thoughts about it, one way or another.
