Summary: Let's do the Time Warp again!
Review: RECIPE:Take 1/2 of diced ideas that were hot stuff in the 1960s, and leave them on the back burner for 40 years
Take a teaspoonful of Flower Power, a dose of "new man"-style feminism, a pinch of Eastern mysticism and a dollop of patronising schmaltz. Mix well.
Pour the mixture over the diced ideas, and set the stove for gas mark "tepid enthusiasm".
Pour entire gloppy mess onto a plate.
Drizzle a little pseudo-philosophical waffle for taste and serve as Coq au Vin - or any other classy-sounding title that takes your fancy. We read, in the "glossary" at the back of this book: "Emotional Intelligence: essentially the same as Emotional Literacy." Well, I've read 217 pages about this so-called "emotional literacy", and several books on "Emotional Intelligence", and I still can't see any resemblence. As far as I can tell, at it's heart, "emotional literacy" - which is presumably described accurately here, since author Claude Steiner claims to have invented the term - amounts to just two ideas: 1. Make war on part of your personality labelled "critical parent", or "pig parent":
"Stand up against your Critical Parent"
"By courageously addressing these feelings ... we engage in an ongoing battle with our Critical Parent"
"Fighting the Critical Parent"
"...we need to understand how to respond when our Critical Parent attacks us" Is this a very useful or "emotionally literate" state to put ourselves in when there are numorous, far gentler and more effective, techniques for dealing with self-criticism?
I don't think so. 2. Learn to give and receive "strokes" on a day-to-day basis
This makes much more sense - show appropriate appreciation for other people, receive compliments gracefully - and believe them - and generally treat yourself respectfully. Seems like a good policy. But there is very little in this book that deals with the details of "how" to do this beyond a veritable forest of platitudes.
And in any case, there really is SOOOOOOOO much more to genuine "emotional intelligence" that the comparison of the two concepts as equals is utterly laughable. I was interested to note that after 170 pages of this flannel, the whole topic of "Emotional Literacy and Children" fitted into 8 pages, and "EQ in the Workplace" took up only 7 pages.
We are told (page 180) that "Introducing Emotional Literacy in the Workplace is a subject worthy of a whole book. I can only give some basic hints here." Why so?
If the subject was worth covering, why not cut some of the repetitious pap from the earlier part of the book and spend more time on this subject?
Frankly, given the quality of the text, I'd say that 7 pages was more than adequate. In short, if you're interested in GENUINE "emotional intelligence" this book will get you nowhere. Just another big time paper waster.

Summary: A waste of time and money
Review: The preponderance of this cassette was filled with the author's own experiences as anecdotes, presumably meant to illustrate to us just how far he has come in his quest of emotional literacy. The entire first side of the cassette and most of the second is filled with irrelevant information which does nothing to assist the listener on how to apply any such lessons to one's own life or to assist others in achieving emotional literacy. While the author is very impressed with himself, I am not at all impressed. This cassette was quite a disappointment. I certainly cannot in good conscience recommend it to anyone who is truly interested in accomplishing anything other than wasting his/her time and money. As of this writing, this cassette has encountered my "circular file."

Summary: A look at developing leadership by using emotional literacy
Review: This book explores the thesis that leadership is more a matter of emotional literacy than intelligence or education. Think of people you know who possess leadership qualities: it is not their intelligence or education you are responding to - it is their emotional literacy; their passion, honesty and ability to be authentic. All people interested in developing their leadership skills should put this book in their library.
