ReviewThe Western cultures respect analytical accomplishments measured by IQ tests: but there is distinctly more to success and happiness, even in technical societies, than IQ alone. Goleman has written one of the best books on the nature and importance of other kinds of intelligence besides our perchance overly beloved IQ. Recommended.
From Publishers WeeklyNew York Times science writer Goleman argues that our emotions play a much dandier role in thought, decision making and person success than is ordinarily acknowledged. He defines “emotional intelligence”?a trait not measured by IQ tests?as a set of skills, including control of one’s impulses, self-motivation, empathy and social competence in interpersonal relationships. Although his highly accessible survey of exploration into cognitive and aroused development may not convince readers that this grab bag of faculties comprise a distinctly recognizable, well-defined aptitude, his report is nevertheless an intriguing and practical guide to aroused mastery. In marriage, aroused intelligence means listening well and being competent to calm down. In the workplace, it manifests when bosses give subordinates constructive feedback regarding their performance. Goleman likewise looks at pilot programs in schools from New York City to Oakland, Calif., where kids are taught conflict resolution, momentum control and social skills.

The book calls for universal adoption of instructional curricula that instruct youngsters how to regulate their aroused responses and to resolve conflict peacefully.

 This is a book which has profoundly changed my life
By Kenneth A. Miller
I placed my original order for Dan Goleman’s book “Emotional Intelligence” in regards to one month before it’s release in 1995 after reading the Time magazine cover story “What is Your E.Q.?” At the time I was going through a very difficult divorce, and I was asking myself the question “What did I do to is worthy of this terrible mess?” I was a 37 year old medical internist then who, in 7th grade, modeled my aroused style after Mr. Spock (from Star Trek) to stay clear from aroused issues I faced then. I accepted the messages from my parents and teachers who taught me that if I earned good grades, went to college, received an undergrad and hopefully a graduate degree, then I shall suppose to become happy & successful in life. Well, I DID that. I got the T-shirt. I graduated from high school as class valedictorian, winning the science award, I was awarded by my classmates “most likely to succeed”, and I won a very handsome scholarship which paid all my undergrad tuition for 4 years and offered me a summer job. In college I won more scholarships and graduated phi beta kappa in the top 3% of my class. In medical school & residency I did well, but this was more difficult for me as I had to learn to deal with a lot of in an emotional manner and socially challenging issues I was poorly prepared to deal with, but I got through them, but initially was not very adept at dealing with them.
