true power of your mind!
Thanks again for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 1 – The Power of Brain Training and the
Truth behind Neuroplasticity

The human brain is considered to be one of the most complex structures in

the entire universe. It has the unique ability to produce a certain degree of
consciousness and intelligence that no other animal on earth can have.
The way it creates consciousness and process vast amounts of information
is something scientists fail to fully understand despite today’s research
methodologies and technological achievements. However, it only proves
how powerful a human’s mind can be.
So, just powerful is your brain? Just by reading this book you have proven
to have one of the most important seeds of intelligence – curiosity. It is a
human quality that helps greatly as the beginning process in learning.
In this case, you are probably curious about how your brain works and
might be looking for possible ways to sharpen your mind. But first, you
must understand the difference between intelligence, knowledge and
wisdom.
The Difference between Intelligence, Knowledge, and Wisdom
Identifying the true difference between intelligence, knowledge, and
wisdom is quite simple. First of all, knowledge is used to describe the
amount of workable information a person has in different fields such as
mathematics, science, language, psychology, and so on. In a way, a person’s
memory can also be considered as knowledge. On the other hand, wisdom
is the ability to utilize knowledge as well as understanding and experience
gained through time to make sound decisions and “intelligent” thoughts.
Finally, intelligence is a quality that encompasses both knowledge and
wisdom.
Despite the belief that going to school will definitely increase intelligence,
this is not always the case. Let’s say a law student successfully graduates
after years of hard work and studying. While it is guaranteed that he has
acquired knowledge through education, he still needs experience in order to
develop wisdom and a little more of both to truly increase intelligence and
brainpower.
It is also believed that the ability to acquire knowledge, wisdom, and
intelligences capped to the limits of an individual person’s brainpower. This
means that some people are more capable of achieving intelligence than
others. Factors such as brain size and genetics are known to be at play when
it comes to determining this. However, studies show that a person’s
brainpower can be manipulated by the concept called as neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity, also referred to as cortical remapping or brain plasticity,
refers to the human brain’s ability to further develop and become more
adaptable through real world learning experiences. This works by literally
changing the brain physically, functionally, and chemically. This means that
your level of brainpower which is responsible for your knowledge,
intelligence, and wisdom can be trained with specific brain training
exercises using neuroplasticity.
According to neuroplasticity, the brain adapts its performance based on the
person’s requirements. It is based on the exact way in which the brain
handles and stores new knowledge. For example, whenever you learn a new
skill, your brain connects new neural pathways that contain information
essential to this new skill.
A good thing about neuroplasticity is that it is known to occur at any age –
negating the belief that such changes in the brain are only possible from
infancy to childhood and stops completely during adulthood. This is
because the human brain is proven to continue to create new neural
connections whenever it is introduced to new learning experiences. The bad
thing is that these changes are not always for the better. In the concept of
neuroplasticity, the quality of stored information can be deteriorated over
time when these neural pathways decline.
Introduction to neuroplasticity-based exercises
Research about neuroplasticity and how far it could go is still being made to
this day. What researchers and evidence know so far is that brainpower can
be improved through regular mental challenges known as ‘brain training
exercises’.
These brain exercises focus on specific cognitive functions such as
attention, concentration, short-term/long-term memory, arithmetic abilities,
visual perception, and many more.
Brain training exercises are also known as non-invasive since they do not
require supplemental drugs or substances in order to work. They rely more
on giving the brain regular challenges – providing it with opportunities to
grow and develop with neuroplasticity.
As far as brain training exercises go, software programs are known to be the
most effective. These programs are specifically designed to target cognitive
functions that are relevant for attaining knowledge, wisdom, and
intelligence. The good news is there’s quite a number of websites that offer
these brain training programs online for free.
Resources for such programs as well as everyday activities will be given
from time-to-time throughout this book. What is important for now is for
you to make the necessary preparations needed for you to get real results.
Chapter 2 – Preparation for Brain Training

Training your brainpower and sharpening your mind will open up endless
new opportunities in your life. Just think about all the skills to master, all
the people to meet, all the experiences to be lived, and all the money to be
made. You can excel in your career, be the top of the competition in
business, and be the best when it comes to your passion.
Another remarkable thing about the human brain is its ability to achieve
whatever it focuses on. You just need to have the mindset, the motivation,
and of course the mental capacity to achieve these aspirations. Finally, you
will need the right opportunity and anything can happen.
In today’s brutally competitive world, such opportunities to improve your
quality of life are not presented just to anyone. You will need all the
advantages you can get. But for now, you will need to visualize these
opportunities and set them as goals.
Setting your Goal: Why do you want more brainpower?
If you are asked “what would you do if you are the smartest person in the
world”, what would you say?
Everyone has a unique set of aspirations and ambitions -- it’s your job to
identify yours. This is incredibly helpful for having the motivation and
patience needed to succeed in your brain training as well as for establishing
habits and daily routines to maximize the potential of your brainpower.
Having your own personal journal will be incredibly helpful for the rest of
this book. It will help you in setting your objectives, creating routines, and
tracking your progress. You can use a physical notebook or your personal
computer to write your journal in. But for now, you should figure out the
exact reasons why you want to train your brain.
To help you get started, consider the following questions:
Are you falling behind in your work and looking for ways to improve?
Is there someone in particular that you want to impress by sharpening your
mind?
Do you want to master a new skill but it seems too much for you?
Are you noticing a decline in your memory or other cognitive functions you
want to improve?
Are you stressed out and can’t help
Answering these questions will help you decide what kind of brain training
exercises to take and what kind of routines to follow in the future.
The Intelligence Factors of the Brain
The main intellectual functions that affect a person’s overall brain power
can be divided into 6 different classifications. They are a person’s
cognition, emotion, behavior, somatic (physical), perception, and signaling.
However, you will be focusing on 5 reclassified fields in brain training
exercises, namely perception, logic, calculus, language, and memory.
Memory – Your memory is a very important factor in determining and
developing your overall brainpower. In this book, you will be focusing on
improving all three memory types (sensory, short-term, and long-term)
using a variety of exercises.
Perception –Your perception is a vital cognitive function that allows you to
handle sensory input from your environment. It is the doorway for all
learning experiences that is dependent on your concentration, focus,
alertness, and attentiveness.
Logic –Your problem-solving skills as well as your ability to produce valid
conclusions from a set of given information is your logic at work. Logic
helps with a person’s reasoning skills, deductive skills, and the ability to
determine which data is true and which is false.
Language–This cognitive ability covers more than just a person’s
capability of speech. It is also responsible for a person’s behavioral and
emotional thoughts. It also describes a person’s ability to associate symbols,
letters, and words to fully-developed thoughts and ideas.
Calculus – Reliable calculus ability doesn’t necessarily mean a person
knows a bunch of mathematical formulas – since memorization of such
formulas requires the work of both your calculus and memory skills.
Instead, this area of intelligence can be determined solely by your ability to
comprehend mathematical equations and arithmetic problems. You may not
have the exact formulas needed to solve certain mathematical questions yet,
but it should be a lot easier for you to find the answer. Your calculus
abilities can be refined by training your memory as well as improving your
accuracy through practice.
Specific brain training exercises will involve one or more of the intelligence
factors listed above. Your job now is to focus on training these specific
intelligence factors one by one.
Getting Started
On your journal, write a paragraph addressed to yourself discussing the
reasons why you want to take brain training exercises as well as your
desired end-results. You are free to write whatever you want as long as it is
related to your motivation in brain training. This will also help you focus on
a particular problem in case it is one of your motivations.
Note that this exercise will not only determine and clarify your goals – you
are also performing a ‘warm-up’ mental stimulation involving your
language skills, observational skills, and focus.
You’re all set!
After the activity mentioned above, you are now ready to start taking brain
training exercises that target a specific cognitive function. Remember to
keep your journal close and never let anyone else read it.
Chapter 3 – Brain Training Strategies for
Unparalleled Concentration

Concentration comes from a person’s patience, motivation, willpower, and

mental clarity. In turn, concentration helps a person learn more efficiently,
work more productively, and act more intelligently by paying attention to
everything and anything that counts.
When it comes to brain training exercises, improving your concentration is
always the best way to start.
Strategies for Improving your Concentration
Your concentration is incredibly helpful for brain training in the long run.
But first, there is a very important thing you should understand in
improving your concentration – trying too hard to concentrate is not
concentrating.
Concentration is a learned skill, meaning it can only be acquired through
consistent practice with the right methods. Although concentration can be
temporarily stimulated during tasks by using different methods, it will not
be as effective as training your ability to concentrate as a separate task.
Your ability to concentrate is also affected by your ability to ignore
distractions that are preventing you from concentrating in the first place.
To achieve unparalleled concentration as well as to apply its benefits for the
long-term, you can try performing the following exercises:
1. Counting Backwards – This is perhaps the simplest and easiest
exercise to train your concentration. It is also an excellent warm-
up prior to starting other brain training exercises. To begin, start
from ten and count down to one. After this, start counting down
from twenty. Repeat the entire process; gradually increasing your
starting number for as high as you can. Record your results on
your personal journal and try to beat it on your next session.
2. Advanced Counting Backwards – This is the more complicated
version of the previous exercise. While counting backwards
 starting from ten, try skipping 3 numbers as you count. For
example; count 10, 7, 4, 1, and then 20, 17, 14, 11, 9, 6, 3, 0. Keep
on increasing the first number for as high as you can. Again,
record your results on your personal journal and try to beat it on
future attempts.
3. Quick Sensory Stimulation – You can pay for professional
sensory stimulation sessions such as aromatherapy, music therapy,
massage, and so on. But you can also perform your very own
quick sensory stimulation
exercise at home. The sensory memory of a person is responsible for
handling information for an extremely short period of time (less than
a second). This memory type will be discussed in further detail in
Chapter 4. For the exercise, begin by getting the following objects:
any music player (iPod, cell phone, etc.), any flavored non-alcoholic
drink (tea, hot chocolate, lemonade, etc.), and any book. The next
step is to find and sit on the most comfortable chair available in your
house. Be sure to be in a position where you can access all of the
things without standing up from the chair. After this, try to relax and
focus on enjoying multiple things at once. The last step is to describe
each sensation (the taste of the drink, the song that was playing, etc.)
on your journal using short sentences.
4. Simple Meditation Exercise –Unlike formal meditation which
usually requires a cushion and incenses, simple meditation can be
performed anywhere in any posture. Begin by closing your eyes
and visualizing a metal box. For the next minute, put anything
that pops up in your mind into the box and close it. After which,
focus on the closed box for about 5 minutes until you achieve full
relaxation.
Remember that the best time to do the exercises listed above is during your
free time, and not while you are working on an important task. Doing so
will only distract you from said task. Improving your concentration takes
practice, but it is quite easy to experience quick results.
Exercises to improve your concentration will take only a few minutes to
complete each, so it is easy to be deployed in your everyday routine. Just
remember to record any improvement on your journal to help you
determine which exercise works the best for you.
Mental Clarity and Focus Training
Your concentration, mental clarity, and focus all work together to help your
learning and productive experiences. While concentration and focus helps
you prioritize in completing mentally demanding tasks, mental clarity helps
you in the quality of what you learn as well as the quality of your work.
Random-number Sequence Training
This simple exercise trains your ability to concentrate in an arithmetic task
while stimulating your ability to remember number sequences. It helps keep
your mind sharp and awake even after a period of intense work.
To begin, simply start by declaring three single-digit numbers. For example,
declare 2 – 7 – 8. The next step is to declare the same numbers in the exact
sequence while adding a new digit each time. For example, declare 2 – 7 –
8 – 5 and then 2 – 7 – 8 – 5 – 2. Keep on going until you can no longer
remember the exact number sequence. You may be impressed by how many
digits you can remember by introducing one digit at a time. This
demonstrates the ability of the brain to store organized information with
ease; especially if each data is inputted one at a time. The Random-number
sequence training can also be performed with a friend. Simply take turns in
declaring and expanding the number sequence. This makes the training a lot
more challenging and effective.
Chapter 4– Memory Improvement and Developing a
Photographic Memory with Brain Training

A failing memory is one of the most inconvenient effects of a weak

brainpower. Imagine how many times you’ve walked into a room and
suddenly forgetting what you’re supposed to do, forgetting where you left
your car keys, or forgetting a very important task just because you were
preoccupied with other activities. But what if you start remembering instead
of forgetting?
Imagine how easier life would be if the exact opposite happened. What if
suddenly you remember the numbers of important contacts or remember the
answers to a very important test at school?
The sharpness of a person’s memory plays a vital role in learning. After
improving your concentration,
How the Memory Works
There are three main types of memory in the human brain; the short-term
memory, long-term memory, and the sensory memory.
The sequence in which new information is stored in the brain is as follows:
Sensory memory – Short-term memory – Long-term memory
Basic sensual information acquired from a person’s senses (taste, touch,
smell, sight, and hearing) is automatically perceived through the sensory
memory. The sensory memory functions as a filter to detect which
information is relevant and which is not.
The relevant data is then stored into a person’s short-term memory or the
active memory. The short-term memory works closely with a person’s
working memory which plays a vital role in consciousness and thinking
abilities.
Lastly, a piece of information can be stored in the long-term memory only
after being processed in the short-term memory. The long-term memory is
capable of securing information for several years. Furthermore, the long-
term memory is divided into two subtypes known as the declarative
memory and the procedural memory.
The declarative memory can also be divided into two subtypes known as
the episodic memory and semantic memory. The episodic memory holds
specific information that the person acquired in real world experiences. For
example, the memory of your 10th birthday is stored as an episodic memory.
On the other hand, the semantic memory holds factual information and
popular perceptions. For example, knowing the difference between a cat
and a raccoon is stored as a semantic memory.
The other type of long-term memory, the procedural memory, holds
information about motor functions and patterns that were acquired through
experience and practice. The procedural memory is also called as the
muscle memory, implicit memory, and body memory. Knowing how to walk,
jog, or use a bicycle are examples of procedural memories.
To summarize the relationship between the memory types – all memory
types are dependent on the quality of the sensory memory acquired.
Your sensory memory is where all other types of memory would begin. In
essence, the quality of a long-term memory is dependent on how much a
short-term memory is consolidated with your brain. In turn, the quality of
information acquired by your short-term memory is dependent on the
integrity of information acquired by your sensory memory. Finally, the
quality of information acquired by your sensory memory is dependent on
your concentration and attentiveness level during the learning experience.
This is why developing your ability to concentrate and focus first is
extremely important in brain training. So remember to keep on training
your focus and concentration abilities using the exercises in the previous
chapter. They will be incredibly helpful for maximizing the effectiveness of
the rest of the exercises in this book.
Memory Exercises
A person’s memory declines over time with age. This can be prevented by
observing a healthy diet and by performing simple daily exercises to
sharpen the memory. Here are some exercises that can easily fit anyone’s
schedule:
 1. Journal Writing – Every day before going to bed, write on your
personal journal about any significant events that happened during
the day. Make sure that you’re writing as if you are addressing your
future self. Try to write as much as you can for about 20-30 minutes
and do this every single day. This simple exercise improves your
memory by training your ability to recall and visualize short-term
experiences which will then be consolidated when you sleep.
2. Quick Reading Comprehension – To exercise your short-term
memory, you need to introduce it to challenges as frequent as you
can. Find the nearest book around you and read its content. It doesn’t
matter what kind of book it is, but it is much better to have a very
informational book such as a science textbook. Try to read at least 10
paragraphs without stopping or rereading previous sentences. After
this, write on your journal about everything you’ve learned about
what you just read. Test the accuracy of your short-term memory by
comparing what you wrote with
what you read. This is also a very effective studying technique when
preparing for tests.
3. Play Brain Games – Mentally challenging games such as chess,
scrabble, and Sudoku are proven to have enough dosages of mental
stimulation to keep your mind sharp. In a study involving 4,000
student participants, 4 months of playing chess showed substantial
improvements in the IQ of those who played frequently. The best
thing about these games is that they are actually fun to play especially
with a friend. Just remember that too many hours playing these
games will not provide better results than playing them for only about
an hour a day.
Memory Strategies
Keep in mind that the integrity of your memory is dependent on a lot of
different factors concerning your lifestyle aside from the presence of brain
training exercises. In order to keep your memory sharp and protect it from
possible declination, it’s important to have a brain-healthy lifestyle.
1. Sleep on time – Humans are designed to sleep at night for a reason.
First, your body undergoes a period of self-repair that treats damages,
balances hormones, and even performs detoxification processes.
Also, REM (Rapid-eye movement) sleep improves the quality of
 long-term memory by increasing blood flow to specific areas of the
brain responsible for processing memories. This is why it is
important to establish a consistently healthy sleeping habit if you
want to keep your brain sharp and functioning well.
2. Eat Right –Just like any other organ in your body, the brain relies
heavily on blood and oxygen in order to function properly. This is
why specific types of food that improves blood and oxygen
circulation are known to have a positive effect in cognitive
functioning. Examples of these brain-friendly foods are; fish
(sardines, mackerel, tuna, salmon, fish oil supplements, etc.),
vegetables (beet, spinach, carrots, broccoli, etc.), fruits (blueberries,
apples, bananas, apricots, etc.), green tea, and red wine.
Brain Training Websites
As more and more people realize the benefits of brain training, more and
more brain training websites arise on the internet to meet the growing
demand. While some of these websites offer paid services to provide daily
brain training exercises, some sites such as NeuroNation offers users a
variety of simple brain training exercises.
Other than NeuroNation (www.neuronation.com), here are other websites
that offer brain training exercises online:
1. Brain Arena
2. Sharp Brains
3. BrainHQ
4. Brain Metrix
5. Lumosity
Chapter 5 – Stress, Habit-forming and Brain Training

Brain training is more than just performing exercises to stimulate the brain.
An important part of brain training is learning how to handle stress which
contributes to a lot of cognitive problems.
Stress in itself is not really a health problem. It is actually your body’s
natural reaction when exposed to triggers and threatening situations such as
public speaking, tasks at work, pollution, loss of a loved one, and so on.
Whenever stress is applied, the brain sends out nerve signals that triggers
the release of adrenaline hormones.
These hormones increase the body’s heart rate and blood pressure to help
the body react quicker. However, stress can become dangerous when
accumulated over time. It increases the risks of stroke and heart attack, as
well as degrades the immune system.
Avoiding stress in today’s modern lifestyle is virtually impossible. But there
are many ways for you to effectively handle and eliminate accumulated
stress.
Reducing the Accumulation of Stress
Stress is something you will definitely encounter every day. It can occur at
home, at work, and even during hangouts with friends.
As far as brain training goes, too much stress can result in the following
cognitive symptoms:
1. Poor decision-making
2. Lack of attentiveness
3. Memory problems
4. Negative thinking
5. Anxiety
To prevent too much stress from accumulating at work, observe the
following strategies:
The 90-minute work cycle
It is important to know that the brain can only function at maximum
efficiency for around 90-120 minutes. As first discovered by Nathan
Kleitman, the “basic rest-activity cycle” is a 90-minute pattern that can be
observed in a person’s working hours during the day. This cycle shows that
the brain works with a specific alertness pattern called the ultradian rhythm.
By understanding the 90-minute cycle, it is recommended to have 20-
minute breaks after each 90 minutes of intense work. This will guarantee
that you will be working at maximum efficiency every time while
preventing too much stress from accumulating.
Drinking Coffee
Most offices have their own coffee-makers for a reason. Caffeine is a very
potent wakefulness-promoting agent that provides a quick boost of alertness
– helping millions of people across the globe complete menial and boring
tasks. Coffee is also known to have powerful antioxidant properties, making
them ideal to consume as often as 2-3 times daily. In a study conducted at
the University of Sussex, drinking coffee or tea came third as the best
stress-relieving activity next to listening to music and reading a book. Just
remember that too much coffee can produce adverse effects such as
heartburn, restlessness, and insomnia.
Negative Thinking versus Productivity
Improving productivity is one of the main goals of brain training. By
keeping your mind sharp, you are actually training yourself to achieve and
do more with your productive time. However, stress as well as
procrastination and negative thinking will definitely stop you from reaping
the benefits of brain training.
As an important part of your brain training, it’s now time to address some
known roadblocks – specifically negative thinking and procrastination.
Usually, negative thinking comes from the anticipation of bad outcomes. In
a lot of cases, this anticipation is poorly justified and is more likely the
result of the lack of plans and the inability to properly set goals. This, and a
healthy dose of positive thinking, will take you a long way.
Physical Exercises
Performing regular physical exercises is a proven method to help relieve
stress as well as to keep your brain empowered in the long run. This is
because physical activities stimulate the production of endorphins.
Endorphins induce positive feelings such as happiness and gratification. It
also works as a natural pain-reliever, which is incredibly helpful in relieving
stress.
You don’t have to perform high-intensity workouts if you just want to
maximize the effects of brain training. Here is a short list of low intensity
exercises you can perform every day:
1. Jogging
2. Cycling
3. Swimming
4. Skipping Rope
Organizing your Lifestyle
To help you facilitate brain training exercises as well as to fight
procrastination and negative thinking, it’s time for you to reboot and
organize your schedule. Simply use the following steps to help you plan
your actions for the near future:
1. Create a weekly schedule by calculating your free time after
unavoidable daily routines such as sleeping, working, and eating.
2. Fill up the majority of your free time by adding the different brain
training exercises you’ve learned in this book. About 2 hours of daily
brain exercises will do.
3. Also try to include physical activities in your daily routine for
maximum effect.
4. Make sure to set weekly goals to make sure you spend your time in
the most productive way possible.
Chapter 6 – Neuro Linguistic Programming for
Beginners

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (also known as NLP)is a form of learning

and communication developed by John Grinder and Richard Bandler in
1975. It is a complex learning structure that has helped many people in
learning a specific skill through NLP techniques and attitudes.
The effects of Neuro-Linguistic Programming are best described as all-out
improvements in everything about a person. Also, Neuro-Linguistic
Programming techniques are unique since they mostly rely on stimulating
sensory experiences – a little close to self-hypnosis.
This chapter will focus on Neuro-Linguistic Programming for brain
training.
Basic Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Anchoring
Anchoring is a very basic, yet highly effective way to improve motivation
and self-confidence. In Anchoring, a person will visualize a specific
positive scenario or “positive emotion at its peak”. This scenario will then
be associated with a specific trigger by using Neuro-Linguistic
Programming.
Anchoring is also a good exercise for training all types of your memory
from sensory to long-term. It is also a good way to relieve stress and
improve concentration during difficult times.
This way, the positive emotions will be easily accessible in the future just
by performing the set trigger. To do this, follow these simple instructions:
1. Choose a memory – This memory must be filled with intense
positive feelings. Just make sure that this memory is something that
you have confidence in doing – like playing your favorite musical
instrument, playing your favorite childhood game with friends, etc.
2. Relive the memory –Using just your mind, visualize the memory as
clearly as you can. Make this memory appear big and try to recall
 every visual detail -- especially the color. Also try to remember other
details about your sensory memory during the scene like a particular
smell, touch, and sound. Try to achieve the positive emotions at their
peak intensity and maintain it for several minutes.
3. Associate the Anchor –When the memory produces the highest
intensity of positive emotions, you are now ready to anchor it. First,
relive the memory again by starting from the beginning. As you do
this, start performing your chosen trigger. Make sure that this trigger
is easy to do
without moving a lot of muscles. Examples are rubbing your earlobe,
rubbing your palms, and rubbing your fingers. The most important
part is to stop doing the trigger immediately when the positive
emotions reach their peak.
4. Repeat – To achieve the best results, repeat the steps for up to 5
times while taking a short break after each attempt. Just remember to
enjoy the experience as much as possible to intensify the positive
emotions being anchored.
5. Maintain – If you’ve done the steps correctly, you should feel the
positive emotions you’ve anchored every time you perform the
trigger. Make sure to regularly use the trigger to prevent your brain
from forgetting the anchor.
Removing Self-doubt
Criticizing yourself is a clear sign of low self-confidence and a negative
mindset. This ‘inner critic’ is some kind of inner voice in every person that
constantly reminds him of his weaknesses and insecurities.
In brain training, taking complete control of your mind as well as having a
positive mental attitude is a must. To use Neuro-Linguistic Programming in
achieving this, simply follow these steps:
1. Observe your inner voice. It should be a voice that you can literally
hear inside your head. Is it your own voice, or someone else’s? How
do you feel when listening to this inner voice?
2. Try experimenting with the voice by manipulating it for as much as
you like. Note that this mental exercise is also helpful for improving
your language factor of intelligence.
 3. Distract yourself from what the voice is saying by adding static,
moving it to faraway places, or playing music over it.
4. Finally, convince this inner voice of yours that you will be willing to
listen to it again once it says something more productive.

Once you’ve successfully completed the two NLP techniques in this

chapter, it’s up to you whether or not you want to move on to more
advanced NLP techniques.
Today, there are several professional groups that offer Neuro-Linguistic
Programming courses locally and online. Of course, most of these groups
charge clients for their service. Feel free to search for these companies
online if you want to take this step a little further.

Introduction

I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the

book, “Emotional Intelligence: The Ultimate Guide to Emotional
Intelligence! - Master your Emotions Quickly And Increase Your
Interpersonal Skills, Awareness, Mindfulness, And Begin Feeling Good!” .
This "Emotional Intelligence" book contains proven steps and strategies on
how to quickly master your emotions through emotional intelligence!
Have you ever heard the saying, "Master your emotions, and in turn you
will master your life"?
Emotional intelligence is a term that most people don't seem to understand,
and this is so unfortunate, because your emotions are the only reality that
truly exists. Do you understand how powerful your emotions are? Just to
give you an example, emotions can cause you to fall in to the deepest pit of
despair or cause you to feel the most exhilarating level of peace, joy,
happiness, contentment, success, excitement, motivation, desire, love, and
the list goes on and on.
The most amazing thing about emotions and feelings is that if you employ
emotional intelligence in your life you can literally pick and choose which
emotions you want to feel, and when you want to feel them.
My hope is that these eight chapters will give you a fast track to
experiencing emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is something
that you can actively mold and hone consciously, but I will say it does take
some effort on your part. This book will empower you, encourage you, and
most importantly direct you to a much deeper understanding of your
emotions and feeling, and what they mean.
Thanks again for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 1 - Understand What Emotional Intelligence
Is
The capability to control and express one’s personal feelings and emotions
is very important. However, one should remember the fact that it should
always be coupled with the skill to respond, interpret, and understand other
people’s emotions. This capability is called the emotional intelligence.
Experts through the years have suggested that this is far more important
compared to the intelligence quotient (IQ), which is only the measure of
cognitive ability.
But what exactly is emotional intelligence?
According to experts, emotional intelligence refers to the capability to
control, perceive, and evaluate your and other people’s emotions. Research
efforts suggest that emotional intelligence can be further strengthened and
learned. And this book will help you out in the process of having a better
emotional intelligence for a better relationship with other people.
What are the four popular branches of emotional intelligence?
To better understand emotional intelligence, a discussion on its four popular
branches is necessary. The following branches were proposed by Mayer and
Salovey. Here they are:
Branch #1: Perception of Emotions
The initial step towards having a deep understanding of the emotions is
having an accurate perception of them. In several cases, this can actually
involve not just the understanding of the words uttered – it should also
include the proper perception and understanding of the non-verbal signals
like facial expressions and the body language.
Branch #2: Doing a Better Reasoning when it comes to Emotions
The next necessary step actually involves the use of the perceived emotions
in order to promote proper cognitive activity and thinking. Emotions can
help you make proper prioritization of what we react to and pay attention
to. Usually, people react emotionally to things that are successful in
garnering your attention.
Branch #3: Having a Deep Understanding of Emotions
Emotions can be tricky in terms of conveying intended meanings – it can be
easily misinterpreted. If there is a person who seems to be disappointed, the
person talking to him should properly trace the reasons for disappointment.
With proper understanding, proper actions can be done accordingly. With
that, a more smooth-sailing relationship can be expected.
Branch #4: Proper Management of Emotions
The capability to do management of emotions can effectively lead to the
proper development of emotional intelligence. By the proper regulation of
emotions, one can appropriately respond. By having an appropriate
response to situations being faced, one can expect better things ahead
because this is one of the most important aspects of the management of
emotions.
Note that the four branches of emotional intelligence are arranged
according from the most basic to the most complex according to the
psychological processes that are involved. Therefore, perceiving and
expressing one’s feelings and emotions are the simplest skills that are
connected to emotional intelligence. On the other hand, reflective regulation
of emotions and conscious interpretation are among the highest branches of
psychological concerns involved in emotional intelligence.
How are we able to acquire these knowledge about emotional
intelligence through the years?
In the 1930s, it was Edward Thorndike who describe the idea of social
intelligence. He connected it with the capability to deal with the people
around a person in social settings.
In the 1940s, it was suggested by David Wechsler that in order to be truly
successful in life, one must first master the components related to affective
intelligence.
In the 1950s, psychologists who are leaning towards the humanistic side
like Abraham Maslow gave suggestions on how to further strengthen one’s
emotional strength.
In 1975, Howard Gardner’s The Shattered Mind was published. This is his
seminal work that paved the way to the acceptance of the idea on multiple
intelligences.
Exactly ten years after, in 1985, emotional intelligence, through the efforts
of Wayne Payne, was formally introduced. The term “emotional
intelligence” finally saw print because it is Wayne’s topic for his
dissertation.
In 1987, Keith Beasley in a magazine article used an alternative term for
emotional intelligence. The alternative term is emotional quotient. This is
noted to be the first time when such a term was published.
Three years later, two psychologists by the name of John Mayer and Peter
Salovey were able to publish a breakthrough article about Emotional
Intelligence and how it is related to cognition, imagination, as well as to
personality.
In 1995, a science writer who wrote for NY Times published an article on
Emotional Intelligence. This made the concept very popular.
