Why you should read Emotional Intelligence
In this seminal work, Daniel Goleman introduced millions of readers to the concept of emotional intelligence - the amalgamation of psychological skills and traits that he claims accounts for 80% of life success. Skills like self-awareness and self-motivation are instilled (or destroyed) in childhood, but Goleman claims that adults still can learn and apply them. This book is at its best when Goleman makes his overall case for emotional intelligence, including its sound biological underpinning. Although the later sections on real-world applications are not as insightful as the earlier sections, getAbstract strongly recommends this important book, which is relevant not only to business, but to life itself.

Dr. Goleman's seminal work provides an exploration on the theory of emotional intelligence and self-control. The book aligns with Nathaniel Branden's work on self-esteem and Maslow's top level of the hierarchy of needs. Dr. Goleman also provides comparisons across professions and contexts. |
