About this title: Author Daniel Goleman uses vivid examples of emotional intelligence in order to delineate the critical role it plays in relationships, work, even our physical well-being. What emerges is a crucial new way to talk about being smart--one that accounts for the other forces at work when a person of high IQ appears to be stymied, while someone of modest IQ does well. Through his extensive research, Goleman has become expert at explaining the way intelligence is shaped through a combination of the rational and the emotional. Moreover, he conveys the insights gleaned from his groundbreaking brain ...

"A well-crafted book about subject matter of varying degrees of interest. It went into depth about a handful of concepts I'd previously encountered in psychology classes and explained more about their direct relevance in everyday life. Goleman offers a number of ways of approaching different elements of emotional intelligence that I found interesting (such as seeing the immune system as "the body's brain," or the importance of feeling in decision making), the most striking of which is the understanding of active participation in emotions in lieu of passive resignation to them.
The book was a little on the self-helpy side for me, but I have to admit that it has provided intriguing methods of dealing with emotions that I intend to at least attempt to implement or at least mull over. I think if I had had to read this for a class, I would have liked it more, but it was also too much like a textbook for pleasure reading."
""""Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our "two minds"-the rational and the emotional-and how they together shape our destiny.
Through vivid examples, Goleman delineates the five crucial skills of emotional intelligence, and shows how they determine our success in relationships, work, and even our physical well-being. What emerges is an entirely new way to talk about being smart.
The best news is that "emotional literacy" is not fixed early in life. Every parent, every teacher, every business leader, and everyone interested in a more civil society, has a stake in this compelling vision of human possibility.""""
"This is an interesting book about social skills--reading other peoples' emotions, recognizing your own, interpreting them correctly, and using that information to form an appropriate response. This response is to be assertive, to achieve socially condoned goals, and to represent the real desired response. It gives a lot of interesting background on how these things impact all our daily lives--from professional relationships to personal ones. It analyzes marriage arguments and schoolyard fights. And then gives some ways to troubleshoot common problems with understanding and communication.
The thing that always bothers me about talking about failing social structures is that there is so little recognition of the horrible conditions in which children grew up throughout time. Child labor is still a reality in much of the world--what kind of parenting are those children getting? What kind of tutelage in social skills? So it is something else about our society that fosters the drug problems, teen pregnancy, and low educational attainment that we bemoan, but I haven't heard any coherent discussion of what those might be. Maybe I'm not reading the right books."
"It was easy to understand, and gave me some cool information. I liked Goleman's more recent book, Social Intelligence, a lot more, though. This one didn't so much explain emotional intelligence in detail as much as try to hammer in to your head that, yes, it exists and it matters.
I don't have any problems with most of his theories. Unlike some psychological things I've read (try my sociology textbook) he cites sources constantly. There were a few little things that annoyed me about it, though, and that was how he lumped in sex with drugs and alcohol as a harmful and evil thing, and that he lumped teenage pregnancy in with delinquency. He's too old to look at many things like this objectively.
Other than that, informational. By the end, though, when it was starting to get boring, the flaws stood out to me a lot."
