Negative emotions like envy, hate, anger and frustration make us weak and reduce our performance. But there is good news: The new Emotional Navigator website can help you to minimize negative emotions and even eliminate them altogether. The EN leads to a happier and more satisfying life.

    /24-7PressRelease/ - BET HERUT, ISRAEL, July 26, 2008 - The Emotional Navigator (EN) is a "personal trainer" for improving your emotional intelligence.

Research has shown that the Emotional Quotient (EQ) is a key to success in the workplace and in life in general. While an individual's ability to improve their Intellectual Quotient (IQ) is limited, EQ can be improved by training and increased awareness.

The EN is a web/cellular-based service that helps the user achieve emotional balance by becoming aware of their emotions and the reasons for their emergence, and provides ways to cope with them. EN guides the user in the process of creating new behavioral paradigms, which enable them to choose and manage their emotional reactions.

Repeated use of EN will make the user aware of their own behavior patterns. They will come to realize and understand which of their reactions are problematic and which are empowering and over time this allow positive changes in emotional behavior. Through the process of working with EN, the user will eventually achieve a higher level of happiness.

EN interacts with the user through a menu-based dialog, directing them in identifying and defining their current emotional state and its source. EN then analyzes the user's input and provides feedback in the form of guidance or advice on how to cope with the situation. Future enhancements to the product will include a unique and sophisticated feature that will make the website even more helpful to the user.

EN is designed for cell phone use too, which makes it ubiquitously available. This kind of immediate availability enables the user to analyze their emotional situation in real time, thus increasing the immediacy and effectiveness of the analysis. Guidance is available instantly.

The tendency to find answers and solutions online is well established. Online guidance on emotional issues is readily available but is given mainly at the informative level. The target audience for EN is the entire Internet community as every person deals with emotions. With the right advertisement people will become intrigued about the idea of finding ways of coping with difficult emotional situations online.

The EN is content-based website, however, unlike conventional content-based sites, EN delivers emotional intelligence content that is highly personalized and focused at the immediate needs of the user.

The demand for online content is constantly growing and there is a gradual shift towards providing and receiving content on-the-go. People's ability to access the internet using their mobile devices is on the rise, and so does the demand for content encapsulated in a mobile-friendly format. EN meets this need by providing concise, focused and easily accessible content in the most straightforward way.

EN has been developed based on years of experience in the emotional intelligence field, including consultancy, training and content development. The EN is managed by a team of very capable, dedicated and experienced people led by Shlomo Elfanbaum.

The current content is created by experienced psychologists, and is available for viewing and navigation on the EN website. In addition to this content, it is our intention to continuously incorporate the knowledge and experience shared by the users themselves. Users are also invited to participate in a range of specific emotion based forums available on the website.
