Summary: Enlightening
Review: This book is wonderful. The authors described all the different ways in which human beings express unique aspects of emotional intelligence. They makes a strong case that overall emotional intelligence is more important than IQ regarding reaching overall happiness and success in life. You just have to look all around you in every day life, and observe that what he is saying holds true. There were a lot of "a-ha's" for me in this book that have had a profound impact on how I live my life.If human beings were solely intellectually intelligent, they would eventually all be replaced by a good computer with a good decision making software package. Watch out! The Matrix would take over. Fortunately, this is not so. Our lives are far more complex, and human beings are far more complicated and diverse than any automated system could understand. Everything is associated with judgment calls. It is all shades of gray. In such a domain, emotions, intuition, empathy, sensitivity, and awareness rule. The intellect is just a wonderful tool serving these other masters. The Matrix will never rule.

Review: Amazingly insightful and well-researched look at our emotions. Reviews new research collected during the last few years that's really interesting. Offers many insights into how our mind works and how emotions play a role in thinking, learning and maintaining your health. Good solutions also for managing the destructive demons that enter the mind. Worth triple the price !!

Summary: People in my field should read this
Review: This should be mandatory reading for all physicists. I love this book. At the very least it will help me deal with the cold repressed atmosphere common in physics.

Summary: Clear and Brilliant
Review: This book is quite brilliant, both in content and delivery. It is the occam's razor version of a manual of change; distilling opaque problems into their essences while illuminating equally simple and transparent methodologies to address them. Or, put more simply, this books makes complex problems clear and provides solid suggestions for solving them.

Summary: Important Book
Review: The Emotional Intelligence Quickbook is a refreshingly thoughtful take on the issue of intelligence. Shackled by "intelligence" tests and by curricula that define such topics as the arts and music as peripheral, we have come to assume a far too narrow definition of intelligence - and of ourselves. May there be many more books like this!
