Well yeah, Psychology is an almost empirical science, EQ 2.0 is a hands-on approach. When you read it, you may acquire skills that otherwise a Psychologist might teach you. As you might guess, I read the book. I went through some difficult experiences in my life, that made it at some point really difficult to make new friends, feel happy or reasonably successful at work. That book helped me a lot. It's not answering all questions to life, rather it gives you a set of tools. You can decide by yourself whether you want to use some of them and which. Anyways, this book falls into the category business books / self-help. I assume they are competing with Psychologists except it's not so stigmatizing maybe. Maybe... if you tell someone in the face which exercise you are doing from this book, the person will probably think you are completely insane... ;) But yeah, it's great that non-Psychologists are allowed to write such books.
