What do you deem to be some of the most important emotional skills to be able to thrive, say in work, or life in general?
Not just looking for the top one, but a range or set of skills so feel free to add new ones not already mentioned on the thread as you go.

I think to succeed at the top in business you're probably best putting emotion to the side. As someone who can't do that, I would say empathy is pretty important to me.
In life it takes a strong command of all emotions to get where you want to be. Otherwise alcohol helps  |

Sit and look at yourself in the mirror do you like the person looking back at you, would you trust that person with your heart, your family your life ? What things would you tell that person they need to improve on, just making little changes can Make a massive difference
Sometimes I think your a fucking doormat, stop being so nice be a cunt then I remember, I trust you to be there for me I know I can approach you and then I realise no you really don’t want to be that person x I love you as you are x keep doing what you do you make me proud |

I’d agree with many of the emotional attributes described above however emotional skill is shown in how you handle your own emotions, so the following abilities are also important.
Ability to
Identify emotions accurately
Express them appropriately
Control them
Switch your attention from them
Redirect unwanted emotions
Cathart previously repressed emotions
Transmute lower level emotions into higher level ones - e.g. anger into joy |

That’s an excellent summary.
Why isn’t this kind of stuff more widely known and taught to people? |

Because it’s not mainstream. Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology are not in the most downloaded lists  |

Perhaps not, but it’s a lot more useful than Facebook which just teaches people to show off to others  |

This works for me, may not work for everyone but I create 2 lists, one of them I can do something about, the others are out of my control.
So I focus on doing the things I can control and escalate/delegate/delete the things I cannot control.
Works well for me. At work, it works too as the honest approach makes life easier and I actually find people are more helpful when you are straightforward.
