BOOK NAME : "EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE" - AUTHOR : "DANIEL GOLEMAN" Review by -- SOBANA. V

 

Am feeling more happy to review this book.

"Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman is a groundbreaking book that explores the role of emotions in our lives and how they can affect our behavior, relationships, and success.

The book offers a new way of thinking about intelligence that emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence (EI) in addition to traditional cognitive intelligence (IQ).

Goleman defines EI as a set of skills that allow individuals to recognize and manage their own emotions, as well as understand and influence the emotions of others. He argues that these skills are essential for success in all areas of life, including personal relationships, education, and work.

The book is divided into four parts. The first part provides an overview of emotional intelligence, its history, and its scientific basis. Goleman explains the importance of emotions in our lives and how they can influence our decision-making and behavior.

 The second part of the book focuses on self-awareness, the foundation of emotional intelligence. Goleman explains how individuals can develop self-awareness by recognizing their own emotions and learning to control their responses to them.

 The third part of the book explores social intelligence, which involves understanding and influencing the emotions of others. Goleman provides examples of how individuals can use social intelligence to build better relationships and communicate more effectively.

The final part of the book discusses the importance of emotional intelligence in various domains, including education, business, and leadership. Goleman argues that emotional intelligence is essential for success in these areas and provides examples of individuals who have used their emotional intelligence to achieve great success.

Overall, "Emotional Intelligence" is a well-written and thought-provoking book that challenges traditional views of intelligence and offers a new way of thinking about the role of emotions in our lives. It provides practical advice and insights for individuals looking to develop their emotional intelligence, as well as for educators, employers, and leaders seeking to foster emotionally intelligent organizations. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in personal growth, relationships, or leadership.
