Emotional Intelligence as a Protective factor against Mental Health and way to Happiness

The existing paper attempts to explain how emotional intelligence works as a protective factor against mental health outcomes, thereby increasing happiness in life. This chapter presents a review based on numerous studies that support the above speculation. Lastly, some recommendations suggested that training in EI skills is an effective tool to fight against adversity. If people use EI skills before the onset of any challenges, it may protect them against adverse mental health outcomes by increasing happiness. The key objective of mental and public health research is to find ways to lessen negative, stressful situations' lasting mental health impact and increase happiness. Thus, the current chapter suggests that building emotional intelligence skills may be crucial to such efforts.
