Emotional Intelligence refers to our ability to know, and manage our own
emotions both in out relationship with our self and with others.
The concept originated from a realization that people with high IQ may
not necessarily be able to productively connect, work or interact with
others.<br><br>
People who have cultivated their Emotional Intelligence are generally
better able to deal with their own internal problems as well as conflict
with others. What do the Baha'i Writings and other spiritual
traditions have to say about cultivating emotional intelligence through
spiritual means? How can the virtues of detachment, discernment,
and wisdom be developed and practiced on a daily level<br><br>

Directions to the Seminar Room:<br><br>

long hallway, you'll reach another door. Enter through this last
door and take a left to find the Seminar Room. If there is any
trouble entering through the first set of doors, the front desk person
