  • Molto affascinante. Per niente pesante, le basi scientifiche delle affermazioni sono spiegate in maniera piacevole (e poi quando si tratta di "questioni cerebrali" chi è che non è curioso?).
    Tratta situazioni che tutti viviamo e sulle quali sarebbe davvero il caso di riflettere di più.

  • EQ is something everyody talkes about, but it seems to mean if you can control your temper. It seems a person who lose temper is with low EQ. But, it is obviously not what the author mean.

    EQ is something everyody talkes about, but it seems to mean if you can control your temper. It seems a person who lose temper is with low EQ. But, it is obviously not what the author mean.

    The author first put Aristotle's challenge as below:

    Anyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - this is not so easy.

    – Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics.

    I really love this! It is not about how not to angry, but angry properly. It is not to avoid your negative emotions, but on recongizing and managing them.

    There are 5 areas of EQ:

    1. Know One's own emotions (self awareness of emotions and internal realities)
    2. Manage emotions (the capacity to sooth oneself, to shake off anxiety, gloom or irritability)
    3. Motivate Oneself
    4. Recognizing emotions in others (empathy)
    5. Handling relationships

    Physically, we must aware that actually the scientist know very little about how emotion works. The brief description is that the sense organs will pass signal to Thalamus where is tranlsated into language. At the same time the signal will transmitted to Amygdala, our fear center as well in a quicker transmission. That's why we can has fear response before we are even aware of it.

  • An evil book

  • This book is not about (emotional) intelligence, but about emotional correctness. It has helped establish a new norm for 'acceptable behavior' that is restrictive and intolerant.

  • Rubbish. I usually hate this stuff, but I thought I would give it a chance.
    Abandoned as soon as I read that the word 'emotion' is supposed to come from the Latin verb 'motere', which unfortunately is.. nonexistent.
    At least check your facts before writing a book, man! :-)

  • An interesting book that introduced the theme of Emotional Intelligence. It is probably the first book that mentioned this term and begin the discussion that men should not only aware of Intelligent Quotient but also the development of self-emotion. Read it in Secondary School.

  • This book reminds me of those young men I saw in my 4th placement, who lack emotional intelligence. Really wonder how they are doing now.

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. [예스24 제공]
