Achieving Emotional Literacy

There is a precedent for a book like "Achieving Emotional Literacy" following on the heels of a bestseller like Emotional Intelligence. Eric Berne's bestseller Games People Play explained the theory of transactional analysis. An even larger bestseller followed it — I'm OK, You're OK, an Avon book that showed readers how to achieve the benefits of transactional analysis. In the same way, "Achieving Emotional Literacy" provides a practical, step-by-step program for readers to increase their emotional intelligence. And in the same way, "Achieving Emotional Literacy" has the potential to be an even bigger bestseller.High IQ alone doesn't make a person smart. Without emotional intelligence — the ability to understand and manage your feelings and the feelings of others — your chances of having a successful and happy life are very slim. Until now, it was believed that emotional literacy was learned as a child. But Claude Steiner believes it is never too late — he offers readers the chance to become emotionally literate adults.

For over 20 years, Dr. Steiner has taught emotional literacy to groups and individuals. He was a protege and close colleague of Eric Berne, the author of Games People Play, and with Berne was a founding member of The International Transactional Analysis Association. Dr. Steiner is the author of the bestsellers Scripts People Live, Games Alcoholics Play and The Warm Fuzzy Tale. His writings and workshops have opened the door to emotional power, happiness, success and satisfying relationships for thousands of people. With Dr. Goleman, Dr. Steiner has redefined what it means to be "smart".

Many people go through life keeping their wounded feelings locked inside,creating anxiety, anger, fear, depression and ill health. This inability to talk about feelings can destroy the possibility for healthy relationships. In his practice and workshops, Dr. Steiner has counseled:

— The lover who can't commit

— The husband who can't communicate

— The wife who suffers from depression

— The boss who gets no respect

— The employee who is miserable on the job

— And others whose emotional illiteracy destroys their relationships
