Emotional Intelligence

Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

De: Daniel Goleman Ph.D. Ph.D.

Narrado por: Barrett Whitener

This program features a new introduction read by Daniel Goleman and a bonus dialogue between the author and Jon Kabat-Zinn.

It is the tenth anniversary since the first publication of Daniel Goleman's groundbreaking bestseller, Emotional Intelligence which maps the territory where IQ meets EQ, where we apply what we know to how we live. Spending over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, Emotional Intelligence provided the evidence for what many successful people already knew: being smart isn't just a matter of mastering facts; it's a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Impressive in its scope and depth, staggering in its implications, Emotional Intelligence gives us an entirely new way of looking at the root causes of many of the ills of our families and our society.” —Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., author of Wherever You Go, There You Are

Emotional Intelligence

I'm afraid I don't like the voice of the narrator who, unfortunately, is the author. He sounds very mechanical. Also, the recording has what seem to be random musical interludes at the end of chapters. I find this very annoying. The material is good, but the total experience lacking.

Terrific info, but a very dry read; think textbook

I was very conflicted about how to rate this book. I know it is a classic. The content/info is 5-star. But it reads like a college textbook and is very difficult to listen to. The narrator has perfect diction but is somewhat monotone and boring to listen to. I really had a difficult time keeping focused on listening to the materical. This is my 20th+ audio book I have listened to in the car while commuting to and from work each day, and it was one of the most difficult to listen to. The only reason I stuck with it was because the info is very worthwhile. To summarize:

Content = A
Presentation = D (textbook, dry)
Narration = D (monotone)

Very insightful but too much technical stuff

If you like psychology this is woth listening to. If you are trying to decide then you will probably be bored. It had a lot of sections that were too technical for general interest.

Robot Voice

Really like Goleman's work. However, the voice reading this! Awful! Sounds like a robot. I didn't believe it would be that bad, but it is! Difficult to listen to.

well read !! Fascinating

Well and interestingly read !! Possibilities of listening more slowly vary helpful.The issue of the book is interesting,vary important for one to know and understand and see himself through it.I took endless notes while listening and took many details to heart.I will be listening to it again soon !!
