EQ Decline: Why Prioritize Emotional Intelligence Over IQ?

EQ Decline: Why Prioritize Emotional Intelligence Over IQ?

Imagine our ability to understand and share feelings, like being kind and helpful.

This is emotional intelligence (EQ).

Articles say EQ is dropping while our smarts (IQ) are going up.

In India, things were different after gaining independence: People worked together, caring for each other.

But, as the economy changed and the government did less, people started focusing on themselves more, leading to less kindness.

Now, we need to bring back caring and helping others by talking more, teaching empathy, and making policies that help everyone feel safe and secure.
