I really liked considering when it was first written it really made me curious about such books and psychology in general
I had to force myself to finish the book. Good info though

This book took me a long time to read. Not that it was difficult, just a lot of text and things I re-read. Overall a decent book, though the end few chapters concentrates on child-rearing and its impact to emotional maturity. Otherwise, a good read for me.
Very clearly articulated and compelling case for attending to the emotional development of our children (and ourselves). At one level, all this is obvious and surely not new. Being intelligent in itself is no guarantee of success or happiness. What matters at least as much is our ability to deal with other people, understand then, connect with them, influence them, form relationships. But I would suggest that Daniel Goleman's assertion early on that we make huge efforts to try to improve the quality of teaching and learning in maths and english/native tongue, but we put less focus on emotional development. My own experience, from UK primary education, is that there is now some attention paid to the social development of each child (friendship groups and conflicts are discussed with parents) as an integral part of considering the child, but it does feel like it falls a little short of what this book is telling us.
This is not a difficult read, but it is a rewarding one.

Read this for work...really liked the beginning, and really liked the end. The middle was just kinda boring.
Such an important topic. Shows the importance of emotional intelligence but doesn’t provide much information about its development.
All schools should offer classes in emotions starting in kindergarten through HS. We would all be more prepared for societal and familial living.
