Publisher's summary

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.

Excellent Listen

Would you listen to Emotional Intelligence again? Why?

This audio book has so many great insights and facts that it is hard to remember them all. I have enjoyed listening to this.

background music is completely unnecessary

I've been waiting for reading Daniel Goldman's emotional intelligence since I read dealing with destructive emotions. I'm not disappointed with the book but with audio book and the background music. That's completely unnecessary.

Unnecessary music noise in between transitions

There is some noise (music?) that makes the narrations barely audible during transitions and missing some crucial point, had to resolve to the text


Otherwise this is an amazing listen

Skipping

Quality content but the audio is skipping seconds at few places in the recording. People are paying money so someone should fix it.

A must read for a better understanding of self, then humanity.

This is an incredible book. It goes a good job of explaining the why. I love how it addresses emotions from the cradle to the grave. A book of this type is a great tool from raising kids to self improve. Glade to have been privy to this information.

Great info...speaker sounds like a robot

The nfo is extremely useful. But the narrator sounds like the robot from the Jetsons.
