To say it bluntly, on average people with high EQ are more successful than people with high IQ. (There's a whole book about it.)

What book? (Feel free to post an affiliate link!)

Also, is this book something you'd recommend to someone who's just casually interested in the subject?

I believe he was referring to Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence[1].

Edit: Though it's been a while since I read it last, I remember finding it very informative and insightful. I don't think you need to be a psychologist or neuroscience expert to read it and benefit.

dmiladinov is right with the book. I bought it half a year ago, actually I also got pointed to it via some HN post. I only read a few dozen pages at the start and in the middle yet, but it is certainly interesting I think. IIRC the reviews on Amazon are very mixed though.
