Good read, but dry
I like HBR. I had to read this for a promotional test. It's good for anyone to read. Especially in my profession. It can be pretty dry though.

Used as a textbook in an EQ class
HBR books are always great. I like how they introduce you to each topic, provide case studies and examples, and wrap up key take away points in highlighted sections.

Outstanding book
This is a great book. Based on my experiences during a 40+ year career, much of what is said is true. The book puts a number of emotional issues encountered in the workplace in their proper perspective and provides insight into dealing with them in a mature, productive manner. The book is an easy read, I read it on a cross country flight.
