On Wednesday, Time Magazine named Taylor Swift its Person of the Year, because, well, of course, she was. It's hard to think of anyone having a better year--or anyone who played a bigger role in influencing culture than Swift did this year. There's the record-setting tour, the re-releasing of her most popular album ever--the new version of which set its own records--the concert movie, and the new boyfriend. That last one, to be clear, is less about her romantic life and more about Swift's complete dominance in terms of cultural influence. Her mere presence at NFL games, where she watches…
We all crave respect. It’s a universal desire, isn’t it? But how often do we feel truly respected in our day-to-day lives? You put in the effort, act kindly, work hard, and what do you get in return? Sometimes, it feels like nothing. It can seem like the respect you so desire is always out of reach, like you’re always trying to catch up with it. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. Many of us feel this way. We feel as though our actions aren’t valued or respected. But here’s the kicker… maybe it’s not about others not…
Emotional quotient, or EQ, is the ability to perceive, manage, control or communicate emotions. People with a high EQ often enjoy better interactions not only with friends and family, but strangers, as well, says Matt Abrahams, a Stanford University lecturer in organizational behavior. Abrahams specializes in interpersonal communication. "A lot of small talk is about empathy and being able to connect with the other person, and people with high EQ are able to do that better," he says. Here are three things people with a high EQ do that make them better at small talk. 1. They validate the other…
Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community, "If you ever lived with a rich roommate, what's the most out-of-touch thing they ever said or did?" Here are 15 of their top answers: 1. "They asked me what it was I did every day that took me out of the house… I was going to work." —gracemcgill 2. "One of my roommates was a nice enough person, but she didn't really have a grasp on the difference in finances between her and the rest of us. She didn't clean up after herself because she thought that housekeeping would do that, and one…
His face was pale and gaunt, his legs were wrapped in a blanket, and his eyes never seemed to make contact with the family members huddled around him. But on Tuesday, Jimmy Carter was there, in the front row of a church in Atlanta, just a few feet from the coffin holding Rosalynn Carter, his wife of 77 years. Carter, 99, was some 164 miles from his home in Plains, Georgia, where he had been in hospice care since February. He was brought into the church in a wheelchair, as the crowd of mourners at the memorial service looked on,…

Young Americans are losing faith in democracy

There is a quiet revolution going on among the younger generation in this country, marked by a dramatic erosion of support for America’s constitutional democracy. The younger generation has good reason to be disillusioned with democracy. People in their 20s and 30s have grown up in an era marked by one crisis after another, including the attacks on 9/11, the global financial crisis of 2008, escalating climate disasters, growing economic inequality, and the Covid pandemic. American government also has seemed paralyzed and/or unwilling to do the things necessary to respond to the everyday problems of ordinary Americans. While older Americans…
Whether it’s asking a neighbor for a favor or re-directing a colleague on a team project, being persuasive in your professional or personal life is a helpful skill. People with high emotional intelligence, or EQ, are generally better at convincing others to see things their way, says Matt Abrahams, a Stanford University lecturer in organizational behavior and author of ″Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You’re Put on the Spot.″ Here are two things they do better than most people, according to Abrahams. 1. They remove ‘restraining forces’ When someone is deciding whether or not to make…
Let’s talk about the necessary evil in our academic lives — exams. Exams have been around forever, dating back to the time of ancient Chinese imperial examinations. Fast forward to now, and we still have to study for exams. And we get it — exams suck. Don’t worry, though. We’ve been through these before and survived. We’ve got you covered with some effective yet easy ways to study for exams, all of which are tried and tested by the writers of Study International. But before we get into it, let’s take a look at the backstory of how exams came…
The most emotionally intelligent people have the rare ability to acknowledge not just their own emotions, but also the emotions of others. They use this information to engage the people around them and bring everyone together. As the author of “Emotional Intelligence Game Changers: 101 Ways to Win at Life & Work,” I’ve spent 20 years studying the habits of emotionally intelligent people. To grow and develop meaningful relationships, you have to communicate and read body language effectively. Here are eight things people with high emotional intelligence never do when talking to others: 1. They don’t focus just on themselves.…
Over the years of educating parents, teachers and caregivers about early childhood development, we've received many questions about how to raiseemotionally intelligent kids. Kids with high emotional intelligence have the tools they need to navigate their feelings and relationships in a healthy and secure way. Key components include self-awareness, self-regulation and motivation. But surprisingly, the most overlooked one is empathy. Parents of the most emotionally intelligent children lead by example — and teach their kids four empathy skills at a young age: 1. How to take on different perspectives Perspective taking does not mean having the same experience as someone…
