Synopsis:
Drawing of groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do well. These factors add up to a different way of being smart--one he terms "emotional intelligence." Emotional intelligence is not fixed at birth, and the author shows how its vital qualities can be nurtured and strengthened in everyone. National media. Currently available. 2 cassettes.
Ground-breaking treatment of life's more important IQ
Author Goleman makes clear, in both truth and love logics, how 'training up a child in the {emotionally healty}way' you would have them grow is all-important for America to understand. With clarity rarely seen, he builds a justifiable case for values of both the heart and the head that lead to this important training. This author, obviously in this book, has both warm compassion and lock-step logical understandings of WHY we as a nation must invest is training up our children better. When you combine his insights with the statistic that ten times as many children now live in poverty in the United States as did twenty years ago, it becomes urgent reading. We, as the 'village', must help raise the child! Rev. Martin Wilson(c21recprop@aol.com)
How dumb are you?
Do you blow your top like the steam-driven trains of old? Do you feel pity for someone who trips and falls flat on his face or do you laugh your head off? Are you the life of the party or does everyone try to avoid you like the plague? These and many other intriguing questions of the sort will not be answered by this book. However, you'll get an idea about why such questions do matter in life. Everyone goes through life assuming he or she is intelligent, that is, until someone else proves otherwise. In this amazing work, the author succeeds in making you realize just how dumb you are. Hold your horses! He doesn't consider himself the nerd of the universe. Rather, he points out that there's such a thing as an intelligence of the emotions. Being an intellectual doesn't necessarily mean that you're intelligent emotionally. Why bother about being so? So many things in life depend on it. He makes you aware that your emotional stupidity is due to your parents. While that can't be undone, at least you can look forward to not committing the same mistakes. Take my word for it: it's worth the time reading.
