I'm reading the book The Language of Emotional Intelligence: The Five Essential Tools for Building Powerful and Effective Relationships

I was wondering if anybody else has read that book, and how effective it is? I'm not sure how effective it is for us Aspies, because we have difficulty reading nonverbal cues.

It helped for me (well, a similar one).
For me, the problem isn't reading nonverbal cues, but interpreting them; books like this can help with that

I have to be honest and say I had no idea emotional and intelligence could be used in the same sentence o-o
