Leveraging emotional intelligence effectively in choice process

Question

I am stuck between choosing between a few options. I have analyzed them rationally and yet I cannot decide what is the most suited for me.

I have read that a powerful tool here would be leveraging emotional intelligence and "feel" more the various options. Yet, I have never invested on this skill and I do not know any practical way to let EI help me at this stage.

The other factor is that the opportunity is short lived (few days).

What practical ways do you know to apply EI to my thought process, that is effective in a short amount of time?

Any reference/material is welcome.

Answer 1

you can start with:

Salovey, P., & Mayer, J. D. (1990). Emotional Intelligence. Imagination, Cognition and Personality, 9(3), 185–211. https://doi.org/10.2190/DUGG-P24E-52WK-6CDG

public document in PDF is also available.

once you grasped EI framework, you could proceed with using it in your actual needs.

whether you have enough time to project 20+ long document on your own topics is subject of your circumstances.
