Reviews and Commentary for Emotional Intelligence

Amazon.com Books:
The Western cultures esteem analytical skills measured by IQ tests: but there is clearly more to success and happiness, even in technological societies, than IQ alone. Goleman has written one of the best books on the nature and importance of other kinds of intelligence besides our perhaps overly beloved IQ. Recommended.

Synopsis:
The astounding coast-to-coast bestseller--with more than 750,000 copies in print--that has changed readers' understanding of what it really means to be smart, Emotional Intelligence delineates the five crucial skills of emotional intelligence and shows why these determine success in relationships, work, and even physical well-being. "Strikes a blow . . . for both science and common sense."--The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Synopsis:
Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness or virtue. Goleman's fascinating report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers us startling new insight into our "two minds"--the rational and the emotional--and how they together shape our destiny.

Synopsis:
Drawing of groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do well. These factors add up to a different way of being smart--one he terms "emotional intelligence." Emotional intelligence is not fixed at birth, and the author shows how its vital qualities can be nurtured and strengthened in everyone. Currently available.
