I'm a 56 year old psychiatric nurse manager. If I explained EQ to my patients they'd tell me they know the place. If I explain EQ to my collegues I'd be placed in observation.
Honestly, I don't even try to explain my facination to co-workers. Most of them would not have a clue what I was talking about....
Why do golfers hit a little white ball around some lawns, over water, into sand traps, and eventually into a little round hole with a stick in it? They're probably just as sane as us but when you think about it -- we're all crazy.
