Colección Daniel Goleman La Inteligencia Emocional: Por Qué Es Más Importante Que El Cociente Intelectual Emotional Intelligence, Paperback

"Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman, though published in 1995, still holds relevance today. The book discusses the importance of emotional intelligence and how it can be applied in various aspects of life. One of the most interesting parts of the book is the documentation of work done with emotional intelligence and children, highlighting the importance of teaching emotional intelligence from a young age. The reviewer believes that emotional intelligence should be taught to all individuals, especially in today's world filled with anger, confusion, and stress. While the book may be somewhat outdated compared to newer books by experts in psychology, sociology, and neuroscience, it is still worth reading if one is interested in emotional intelligence and psychology. Overall, the book is Considered carefully researched, plausible, and "right" compared to other related books the reviewer has read. The author's use of words like "probably," "might," and "often" adds credibility to the information presented. The book is written for laymen, but may be a bit dry compared to more modern pop-psychology books. One aspect that may be concerning for some readers is the examination of psychopaths, which may disturb those coping with autism. However, the author acknowledges that not all individuals with empathic deficits will turn to criminal behavior. The book does not specifically address autism, which may be due to the lack of knowledge around the condition at the time of its publication. The reviewer believes that society has learned a lot about the importance of empathy, coping skills, and anger management since the book's release. However, they express disappointment that emotional/social skills curricula are not widely implemented in schools. Despite this, there is hope that schools are at least aware of the advice presented in the book. In conclusion, the book is recommended for those interested in emotional intelligence and psychology, but may not appeal to those without an existing interest in the subject.
