Description

Emotional Intelligence is one of the key predictors of a successful life. In this episode, Rachel D Weissman, a meditation and yoga teacher and an interaction designer for Google, explains the importance of cultivating emotional intelligence (EQ) in our daily lives, work, and relationships. Rachel explains the four key pillars of emotional intelligence and the different types of meditations such as present moment awareness, calm focus, energized body and mind, and transcendence and self-discovery that is useful to improve your EQ.
