Emotional intelligence, or the ability to understand and manage one's own and others' emotions, resembles a superhero power, except that instead of flying or shooting lasers from your eyes, you only need to be in touch with your feelings. Consider it the Spidey-sense of emotions, except instead of detecting danger, you can tell when a coworker is depressed or when a friend needs an encouraging pep talk. Put on your emotional capes, because we're about to enter the land of emotional intelligence!
