Emotional Intelligence : Why it can matter more than IQ

Rating:
Summary: A breakthrough in child rearing practices
Review: "Look at his face!" is an example of more enlightented teaching for parents and teachers of young children than, "Look, you wrote a word." If all children, not just the "people person" kids get training in understanding how others feel, the Golden Rule gets more possible. This book is important for child rearing in dangerous times.

Summary: Emotional Intelligence Is a Fraud
Review: I can email to anyone who is interested a 32-page analysis in which I show that Goleman misrepresents every article and book he cites or quotes to prove the deficiencies of IQ tests, SATs and school grades. Not one says what he claims it says; most say the opposite.

Summary: THE LIBRARY "EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE" is very interesting
Review: The book is very interesting, I near Federico Gan - psychologist and Spanish pedagogue - are attempting to build from our perspective something that lack to the book, a test capable of "to measure" the emotional intelligence, capable of offering a dependable profile of the emotional intelligence, as well as of the factors that compose or play a role primary in this.

Summary: Intense Reading
Review: Before purchasing this book, I read may reviews and had high expectations. For me, this book was hard to read. I would compare this to a Intro Psy textbook, not light reading. There is much good information here. I enjoyed the sections on the physical aspects and development of the brain. I also enjoyed the sections on emotional connections to management, marriage, and health.

Summary: Ground-breaking treatment of life's more important IQ
Review: Author Goleman makes clear, in both truth and love logics, how 'training up a child in the {emotionally healty}way' you would have them grow is all-important for America to understand. With clarity rarely seen, he builds a justifiable case for values of both the heart and the head that lead to this important training. This author, obviously in this book, has both warm compassion and lock-step logical understandings of WHY we as a nation must invest is training up our children better. When you combine his insights with the statistic that ten times as many children now live in poverty in the United States as did twenty years ago, it becomes urgent reading. We, as the 'village', must help raise the child! Rev. Martin Wilson([e-mail])

Summary: emotional intelligence is IQ tempered with maturity
Review: This book reviews how people need to be educated not just intellectually with facts and figures, but emotionally. People so often have problems in life solely due to the fact that they haven't learned to get in touch with their feelings or their fellow man's feelings. This book emphasizes how children who are taught to respect other people not based on the old adage of right and wrong, but of understanding why it is right and wrong. Learning compassion is a step to peacemaking. Learning to control or maintain certain emotions, rather than having them control you is certainly a great asset in breaking patterns and repeating mistakes.
