Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

This is one of those books where if you “get it” it's real. And if you don't, it's total BS.

Personally, I get it.

For example, I actually know someone that really does have PTSD. Goleman explains a plausible mechanism.

If you're a skeptic, you won't find anything useful in this book, so don't waste your time. If you're willing to consider personal experience as validation for his claims, read it and observe the world around you from a more emotionally significant perspective.


My personal experience? Predictability doesn't imply measureability. This makes the subject an art rather than a science. I'm just fine with that.
