Emotional Intelligence : Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

Rating:
Summary: Pseudoscience and quackary at its best
Review: This advice is primarily written to those who do not know about how to conduct and read science: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK.

Emotional intelligence is voodoo science at its best. It sounds intuitively appealing but there nothing behind it. Plenty of research has now been undertaken and guess what? According to a recent meta-analysis (an integration of many studies) EQ correlates very weakly with work performance (in fact about 3 times less that does IQ--go ahead, take a look at the Journal of Vocational Behavior, a credible and well-respected scientific journal to check the accuracy of my statement).

But Goleman preaches the opposite; speculating where he shouldn't be. What he's done and currently doing is shocking and unethical. It seems that he's only in it for the money; or maybe, he's just not as smart (IQ!) as he makes out to be.
