Ever met someone who rambles on about their great day to a person whos clearly bumming? Like a homegirl that gushes about her great relationship while you're sulking over a recent break-up. Either that broad is a self-centered jerk or she lacks some feels smarts. The ability to clock an emotion, control it, and express it authentically. It's also that ability to be like "oh damn this person is clearly hurting my beeeee" Experts call this emotional intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence: the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.

This episode of OGWIT, I discuss being feels smart with dear homie of the show, John! What is emotional intelligence? How is it measured? And what are the benefits of developing this kind of intelligence.
