Deal Details
Various Digital Retailers have Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman (eBook) on sale for $1.99 listed below.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

Available from: About this book:
  • Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our "two minds"—the rational and the emotional—and how they together shape our destiny. But why is emotional intelligence important?
  • Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. These factors, which include self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, add up to a different way of being smart—and they aren't fixed at birth. Although shaped by childhood experiences, emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened throughout our adulthood—with immediate benefits to our health, our relationships, and our work.
  • The twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of Emotional Intelligence could not come at a better time—we spend so much of our time online, more and more jobs are becoming automated and digitized, and our children are picking up new technology faster than we ever imagined. With a new introduction from the author, the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition prepares readers, now more than ever, to reach their fullest potential and stand out from the pack with the help of EI.

I wonder if he mentions that CHC has better predictive validity than EQ standardized measures? Maybe that gets glossed over.

IQ is not a good measure of intelligence anyway. Like the SATs students take in highschool; you can train and test for higher scores.

Pretty much what the first bullet point under "About this book" says. Subtitles have to quickly sum up the gist of a book and grab attention though.

It accounts for this. You cannot take the same test twice - nobody would ever do this as a practicing psychologist. Nobody is flying blind out here. Standardization and test administration ethics understand these points. Anyone studying for an IQ test shouldn't be interpreted, nor probably tested in the first place.

I am startled at the groundbreaking revelations uncovered in this brilliant work. Or at least the blurb suggests I will be.

Will this teach me more about how "living in my truth" matters more than facts?

Incredibly important concepts in this book. Having well rounded intelligence matters more for achievement than just narrow skill in your discipline.

Sounds like excuses failures make for being failures.

The thing about dumb people is they don't understand what it's like to be smart; and we already know 100% of their words and actions are part of their manipulation scheme they exist upon.

Apparently people have to pass basic k-4 with actual passing grades to understand religons psychology is just as scammy as the rest their invisble alien voodoo stories. I've never interacted with invisble people. We do have literal autonomous robots walking around tho. Which is the opposite of the lies of the real people with souls fables. And we shouldn't be allowing terminators to manipulate our emotions into saying they is real.
