Really interesting! I like the Plato Socrates insights, the stoics play a part here too. To build on the Emotional Intelligence piece - My understanding and experience is that i t was psychologist Daniel Goleman who compared EQ with IQ, and (1995) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26329.Emotional_Intelligence

Until this point the focus was on intelligence quotient. 2000 onwards more research was undertaken and psychologists like Dr Brené Brown and Dr Susan David and others have translated Emotional intelligence into actionable values-framed skills. There are various concepts and tools some of which I've shared here: https://www.carermentor.com/t/emotional-agility

There are many ways we navigate our emotions, it's personal preference. What I've shared resonates most closely to what works for me. You may enjoy reading the 'decoding emotions' article.
