 How social interactions shape the brain and mind June 3, 2008
Rolf Dobelli (Luzern Switzerland)
In 1997, Daniel Goleman published his book Emotional Intelligence which launched that powerful concept. He followed it with several related books, such as Working with Emotional Intelligence. This book is the natural outgrowth of Goleman's ongoing work, so it will be immediately appealing to anyone who found his earlier books useful. However, this volume also deserves to be read on its own account. Goleman writes well. He synthesizes a broad range of thinkers and encapsulates numerous studies smoothly. And two other assets really make the book flow: First, a real sense of Goleman as a person comes through in the book's numerous personal anecdotes; second, Goleman has a great attitude. He clearly believes in the good in people and wants them to prosper. He cares and that comes through as well. Since part of this book is about the effects of rapport and supportive emotional interactions, these are not minor or casual points; in fact, they illustrate his claims. getAbstract warmly recommends this book to anyone who wants to understand social intelligence or to improve performance by improving organizational culture.
a worthy sucessor to his blockbuster September 18, 2007

This book is a worthy follow up to his previous block-buster. If it popularises the overwhelming importance of relationships it will have filled a big hole in mainstream thinking, which remains dominated by an aversion to recognising such issues, treating them as 'soft' and unproven and unscientific.
Read it and then give it to anyone and everyone who will read it. After 30 years working in mental health I think that our relationships are the most important choices we will ever make. You cannot choose who you were born to, but you can go some way to choosing who you live with and how you care for them.

Sorry to go against the polularity of this author, but as a doctor in psychology I don't find anything interesting in this book. As usual, Goleman uses too many examples in order to convince you of hardly sustainable arguments. In this book at least he refers to some formal research, but it is incomplete and poor. Psychologists have been studying intelligence for many years and we all know that there are different aspects to consider, but naming one of them specifically "social" doesn't make it something new.
I think Goleman is already living on the remains of his fame from Emotional intelligence, for which I would also apply the same critic.
