Jane Wharam "Emotional Intelligence; Journey To The Centre of Your Self "
Wharam believes that to harbor regrets and go through life saying “what if” is not only non-productive but just plain sad! Using her own experiences as a guide, she shows how to forgive oneself and shake off the hold that regrets have on us - and she does so brilliantly with wit and humor, albeit sometimes dark, to deal with attitudes in the face of adversity. Her book was written during a period when she hadn’t liked herself very much, hadn’t dealt with emotions and attitudes, and had a burning need to communicate with more people in her sphere than was normal - even by her standards. The author’s book is a layperson’s guide to emotional intelligence using real, down-to-earth examples in an approachable style , with EQ testing and practical exercises and visualizations to help the reader think emotionally – and cope better with stress, anger and change. When Wharam isn’t writing, she runs training courses in Emotional Intelligence and conducts tutored meditation sessions for stressed workers locally, and also in London, England. Her motto of “every day is a gift” is reflected in how she now lives her life every day.
