Inteligența emoțională by Daniel Goleman
4.0

Ever since the appearance of ‘Lie to me’ tv show, I am drawn by the subject of emotions and how they appear. So reading this book was a must for me, even thought it took me quite a while to read it. But in the end, I’m glad I did.

It was interesting to discover so many insights about emotional intelligence and how important it is, starting from our childhood. I never imagined that in other countries, they teach emotional literacy in schools and that these courses can change the life journey of a child. Besides these courses, there are also mediating classes that teach children how to solve emotional conflicts. Another important part in developing one’s emotional intelligence is how the parents choose to raise their children: their reactions to them, the environment etc.

This book is filled with examples about emotional intelligence backed up with studies (old ones, but still relevant) and I think it’s an important read for everyone who wants to understand more about emotions that appear in different situations.
