Product Description
Emotional Intelligence was an international phenomenon, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and selling more than five million copies worldwide. Now, once again, Daniel Goleman has written a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are “wired to connect” and the surprisingly deep impact of our relationships on every aspect of our lives.
Far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies—down to the level of our genes—for excellent or ill. In Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman explores an emerging new science with startling implications for our interpersonal world. Its most fundamental discovery: we are designed for sociability, constantly engaged in a “neural ballet” that connects us brain to brain with persons around us.
Our reactions to others, and theirs to us, have a far-reaching biological impact, sending out cascades of hormones that regulate everything from our hearts to our immune systems, building excellent relationships act like vitamins—and terrible relationships like poisons. We can “catch” additional people’s emotions the way we catch a cold, and the consequences of isolation or relentless social stress can be life-shortening. Goleman clarifies the surprising accuracy of first impressions, the basis of charisma and emotional power, the complexity of sexual attraction, and how we detect lies. He describes the “dark side” of social intelligence, from narcissism to Machiavellianism and psychopathy. He also reveals our astonishing capacity for “mindsight,” as well as the tragedy of persons, like autistic children, whose mindsight is impaired.
Is there a way to raise our children to be pleased? What is the basis of a wholesome marriage? How can business leaders and teachers inspire the best in persons they lead and teach? How can groups divided by prejudice and hatred come to live together in peace?
The answers to these questions may not be as elusive as we once thought. And Goleman delivers his most heartening news with powerful conviction: we humans have a built-in bias toward empathy, cooperation, and altruism–provided we renovate the social intelligence to nurture these capacities in ourselves and others.

If you are expecting to learn anything that can really help you in your life, forget it. An odd collection of odd insights that in the fantastic scheme of things add up to nothing. Don’t waste your money.

I selected up this book because I was trying to figure out what to do about a superintendent who was deliberately building me miserable. I had once had a fantastic job that was gradually being turned into a mind prison distressing my health.
After I read this book that clarified how anyone you spend a lot of time with can really affect you for excellent or for terrible, I realized there was no hope in my job anymore. My superintendent and her abnormal growing demands were building me phsycially ill. I had the worse allergic result I’ve ever had in my life and suffered for 2 months of agony.
As I tried to withdraw from so much support I was being relied on for as the only support person at night for 80+ attorneys and 150 staff total, this superintendent was suddenly demanding a “strong” relationship with me. She treated me like her prisoner in so many ways. I might as well have been chained to her. I came in early for the communications seminar and there she was, sitting at a desk with a chair waiting for me. That’s right, chained to her.
I realized that it wasn’t going to work, she wasn’t going to back off building me her prisoner and it was building me sick. I felt like I was dying. I had no energy to do anything after work. This lady would supervise me from her home late at night. She was just one of the most hard people I’ve ever worked for, like something out of the military. I was nearly a perfect employee. I had no complaints for my work in the entire 2 years I had been there. I had no problems at all, except one – and that was a sick superintendent wanting to make me sick too.
After reading parts of Social Intelligence, I chose this lady had done enough hurt to my health. I stood up to Ms. Seargent by building my case about her to H.R. and left. I figured out I no longer needed to be building so much money to have a high quality life. In fact, I could easily make half of what I was building and still live a comfortable life.
I have recently shifted my life to living in the moment and not for the future. I now have a new plot in life to do what I delight in doing, and to never allow anyone to imprison me again.

I won’t say much, just that D.Goleman is writting social intelligence from an emotional intelligence perspective, and also his writting style has not changed (It could be improved, some examples are off topic etc).
But overall, it’s all excellent material there

I was at the office Christmas party listening to some dull ancient goofball yammer endlessly about how “fantastic” this book was. While downing tequila shots, I rolled my eyes and did the circling-pointer-finger-by-the-ear thing while the guy was talking. Even though only two chicks laughed, I finished up nailing one of them at the apartment my wife doesn’t know about, while I’m pretty sure our company reader didn’t get anything that night. So who’s the smart guy?
