Applied Emotional Intelligence: Regulating Emotions to Become Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise

This chapter is going to be a little different from many of the others in this book. Rather than talk about emotional intelligence per se, I am going to discuss two particular applications of what we have learned about emotional intelligence. The focus will be on staying physically well and on making good financial decisions—health and wealth. I am going to argue that the appropriate regulation of emotions is an important predictor of good health and a key to investing money wisely.
