Emotional Intelligence

“Awareness transforms emotion into wisdom.” — SWEET Institute

In a world that moves faster than the human heart can process, Emotional Intelligence: The Inner Science of Transformation invites us to pause, to breathe, and to understand.
Written by Mardoche Sidor, MD and Karen Dubin, PhD, LCSW, in collaboration with SWEET Institute, this groundbreaking book reveals how emotions are not obstacles to overcome but messages to decode — guiding us toward healing, purpose, and integration.
Blending fiction-style storytelling, scientific insight, and practical tools, the authors take readers on a journey through the Four Layers of Transformation — the Conscious, Pre-Conscious, Unconscious, and Existential — showing how every feeling, reaction, and relationship can become a portal to growth.
Across thirty powerful chapters, you will learn how to:

• Understand the physiology of emotion and the neuroscience of regulation

• Recognize patterns and core beliefs that shape your reactions

• Work through repressed feelings and unconscious defenses

• Discover meaning, purpose, and peace beyond the conditioned self

• Build emotionally intelligent relationships, teams, and communities

This book is both a manual and a mirror — a guide for clinicians, leaders, and learners who long to live and lead with awareness, empathy, and integrity.
With each page, you will be reminded that emotional intelligence is not simply about understanding feelings; it’s about remembering who we are beneath them.

“The real intelligence is not emotional or cognitive — it is the awareness that holds them both.” — Mardoche Sidor, MD
