Business-minded books may help you get an edge on the competition, but novels can be even more effective. Of course, not every novel offers the same chance to boost your emotional intelligence, but the ones that emphasise characters’ relationships certainly can. Novels with strong character development can help you think more creatively about handling interpersonal issues and can give you new insight into the ways people think. After all, novels are written by people, so there’s a degree of common human psychology that exists in every fictional character.
