Good afternoon, and welcome to Emotional Intelligence. Wrapping up last week's program, when someone slaps you in the face, don't kiss him. This is an inappropriate reaction for harmful stimuli. The right way to react is to cover your face with your hands and ask him to stop. And if he doesn't, knee him in the stomach and punch his face on the way down.
Today we're going to talk about jealousy. There's nothing wrong with being jealous. It's quite normal. But emotionally intelligent jealousy is directed against an appropriate target. Are you still jealous of the man next door because a pretty girl said hi to him? What about rock stars? Pretty girls do a lot more than say hi to them and yet you admire them. What kind of life does the man next door live? Is he as poor and miserable and lonely as you are? But you envy him and admire rock stars who are pampered and never have to spend a moment alone...
