TABLE OF CONTENTS
Discover the hidden inner workings of your mind so you can break unhelpful habits and set yourself on the path to achieving your full potential.
Beyond Emotional Intelligence reveals how our ingrained mental tendencies can either help or hinder us, depending on how conscious we are of their influence over our lives. Whether we seek to set and achieve our desired outcomes, improve our relationships, or live in alignment with what we value most, we need emotional intelligence (EI) to identify and overcome the mental patterns that may be keeping us stuck. In this book, you’ll embark on 12 Self-Discoveries that will help you get to know yourself, so you can stop getting in your own way. You’ll learn how, with practice, you can retrain your mind to develop new thought patterns that will serve you better as you work toward your life’s aspirations.
Each of the 12 Self-Discoveries offers unique clues and insights into who we are and why we do what we do. They function as an internal barometer for our triggers, emotional patterns, and mental habits. Ultimately, they provide a clear path to uncover and work with our habits of mind and patterns of action and reaction, giving us the possibility to exercise our own agency at key moments in our lives. Beyond Emotional Intelligence presents the 12 Self-Discoveries framework which provides you with a solid foundation from which you can begin to grow.
This book will be your guide as you embark on a rigorous process of self-discovery as you learn to embrace your inner wisdom and take control of your results.
“Michele Nevarez has done it! Her years of study and personal experience have come together in a beautiful way to deliver Beyond Emotional Intelligence. This is a book that melds intellect with humanity and provides a framework for truly understanding mind-based habits facilitating an existence with life’s most valuable riches.”

“This book is a conversation with one of the most informed and thoughtful minds in the emotional intelligence space right now. Through stories, countless compelling metaphors and her conversational style Nevarez gives the reader a digestible overview of the evolution of emotional intelligence and then applies a critical lens. Using the most up-to-date science she makes a compelling case for seeing emotions as constructions of our brain rather than pre-defined repertoire triggered by external events. Most importantly, Nevarez takes the science and applies it to our daily lives. This book is full of strategies to increase our awareness of our actions and shift our habits to live with more intention. So empowering! As a coach, this book is a bank of self-awareness and self-management strategies I can share with my clients that applies to any and every obstacle they are working on. I look forward to sharing it, quoting it, and teaching it to those looking for transformative growth.”
