THE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE QUICK BOOK

Listeners familiar with Daniel Goleman's writing on the emotional components of being smart will enjoy this lesson on how to apply EQ principles to one's performance at work. By testing thousands of people in these abilities and working with them as consultants, the two organizational psychologists make EQ principles sound fresh and grounded in reality. In this audio they have a real talent for offering engaging stories that illustrate how people can improve the four EQ skills--self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Narrator Thom Pinto sounds like a kindly mental health professional, yet his voice also conveys an action orientation and an unshakable belief in the validity of the advice.
