Interesting in the abstract (not really a practical-tips book.) ( )
  sprite | May 3, 2013 |
This book was chock full of interesting anecdotes about how people can become dysfunctional due to an inability to successfully manage emotions. It definitely convinced me that emotional intelligence is a worthy skill set to master if one wishes to interact with other people...

But that got me thinking. Why does emotional intelligence seem to be structured with the goal of not making the other guy unhappy? Although I do not wish to actively be unkind to anyone, I must confess that I sometimes find 'polite' conversation entirely too limiting. It just doesn't get the job done. I dearly wish that humans would figure out how to hold a conversation without looking for opportunities to be offended. Why can't we just exchange truthful perceptions without worrying that the other person thinks that we are stupid/stuck up/smarty-farty/etc? ( )

Inteligência é emocão. QI não é destino. O fascinante e convincente livro "Inteligência Emocional", de Daniel Goleman revela que a nossa visão sobre este assunto ainda é muita estreita. Ao contrário do saber científico que dominou o mundo ocidental no últimos séculos, Daniel Goleman revoluciona conceitos mostrando que o QI de uma pessoa não é garantia de sucesso e felicidade. No Brasil, o livro de Goleman tornou-seu um verdadeiro fenônemo editorial com mais de 400 mil exemplares vendidos. Utilizando inovadoras pesquisas cerebrais e comportamentais, Goleman, PhD pela Universidade de Harvard, mostra porque pessoas de QI alto fracassam e outras, cujo quociente é mais modesto, apresentam uma trajetória de vida de sucesso. O livro de Goleman ainda derruba um outro tabu: o mito de que a inteligência seria determinada pela genética. Para o cientista, a inteligência está ligada à forma como negociamos as nossas emoções. A inteligência emocional seria esta capacidade de autoconsciência, controle de impulsos , persistência, empatia e habilidade social.
A tese de Goleman está baseada numa síntese original, feita a partir de pesquisas e recentes descobertas sobre o funcionamento do cérebro. Ele mostra como a inteligência emocional pode ser alimentada e fortalecida em todos nós, principalmente na infância, período no qual toda a estrutura neurológica encontra-se em formação.

It was an unbearably steamy August afternoon in New York City, the kind of sweaty day that makes people sullen with discomfort.

Book description
De psycholoog Daniel Goleman introduceerde als eerste voor een breed publiek het begrip emotionele intelligentie (EQ), het belang van emotionele ABC. Het voelende brein bezit zelfkennis, zelfbeheersing, geestdrift, en het vermogen eigen emoties te herkennen en jezelf te motiveren. Emotionele vaardigheden blijken niet alleen belangrijker te zijn dan rationele, zij zijn van doorslaggevend belang voor succes in werk, relaties en voor ons lichamelijk welbevinden.
Emotionele intelligentie verscheen in 25 talen.
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 055309503X, Hardcover)

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.
