High emotional intelligence can lead to better stress management, reduced risk of depression, and improved overall mental well-being.

Emotional intelligence also impacts physical health.
The ability to manage stress and maintain emotional balance can lead to improved cardiovascular health, a stronger immune system, and overall better physical health.
Emotional Intelligence and Success
Success is not just about intelligence or hard work.
Emotional intelligence plays a significant role in achieving success in various aspects of life, including career, relationships, and personal growth.
