About this listen

Is IQ destiny? Not nearly as much as we think. This fascinating and persuasive program argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, ignoring a crucial range of abilities that matter immensely in terms of how we do in life. Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Daniel 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". This includes self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal, and self-motivation, empathy and social deftness.

These are the qualities that mark people who excel in life, whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. Lack of emotional intelligence can sabotage the intellect and ruin careers. Perhaps the greatest toll is on children, for whom risks include depression, eating disorders, unwanted pregnancies, aggressiveness, and crime. But the news is hopeful. Emotional intelligence is not fixed at birth, and the author shows how its vital qualities can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. And because the emotional lessons a child learns actually sculpt the brain's circuitry, he provides guidance as to how parents and schools can best use this window of opportunity in childhood. The message of this eye-opening program is one we must take to heart: the true "bell-curve" for a democracy must measure emotional intelligence.

Amazing Book !!

I love the book; it was quite insightful. There is a lot you can learn from this book. I'll give 4.5 because I love how he explained in the later part how children can go through trauma and how to help them but as an adult in later 20s reading this book I honestly just wanted to find ways to help myself for the mess I have become as a result of years of childhood and other traumas but at the same time I also understand that every topic can't fit in 1 book and specially when it comes to emotions and how our brain functions. Still there is quite a lot that one can learn as an adult from this book & I am thankful for all the knowledge the author has imparted onto us.
