Get Understandably (free) and my "Improving Emotional Intelligence 2021" ebook (also free)

Hi. I’m Bill Murphy Jr.

Subscribe below for my free daily newsletter (called Understandably, with 3,000+ 5-star ratings), and I'll send you my free ebook: Improving Emotional Intelligence 2021.

Check your email for the book. If you didn’t get it, please check that you entered your email correctly, or check your spam folder. You can also email me at bill@understandably.com if you run into trouble.

The book is based on the best practical strategies I’ve learned for improving emotional intelligence, as a result of studying and writing about it for the last few years at Inc.com.

(The book about 10,000 words, optimized to view on a smartphone, and takes maybe 45 minutes to read. It’s also continually updated, meaning you can reply and suggest improvements, which might make it into the next edition.)

It’s actually one of several free ebooks I’ll share with you. I call them “Ubooks,” in fact, because they’re from Understandably, and also the whole “continually updated” thing.

Other current titles include:

• Flying Business Class: 10 Rules for Leaders From the U.S. Airline Industry

  I’ve been writing about entrepreneurship for more than a decade, and writing about the airline industry for three years. I think every business leader in any industry should study the airlines; it’s almost like a free MBA.

• Tom Brady Always Wins

  Leadership lessons from following NFL QB Tom Brady. Few players provoke a more passionate response from fans. But few players—actually, none—win more often.

• 365+ Top Inspirational Quotes for 2021

  Every year since 2016, I’ve started the year by publishing a year’s worth of inspirational quotes. These basically the “best of” list—including the ones that are most popular with readers.

I'm also a contributing editor at Inc.com. I’ll share your email with them so they can send you other bonus free content and other offers. It's a lot of good stuff, and I think you'll like it. Unsubscribe or opt-out anytime (of course).
