About this listen

This program features a new introduction read by Daniel Goleman and a bonus dialogue between the author and Jon Kabat-Zinn.

It is the tenth anniversary since the first publication of Daniel Goleman's groundbreaking bestseller, Emotional Intelligence, which maps the territory where IQ meets EQ, where we apply what we know to how we live. Spending over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, Emotional Intelligence provided the evidence for what many successful people already knew: being smart isn't just a matter of mastering facts; it's a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you.

Any additional comments?

The narration was too fast, particularly where concepts were explained, and more time would've been helpful to try to process the information. Even when I tried to slow down the speed of the narration, there was an echo, so that was deterring. It would've been more helpful if the narration was slower.

The reader has a very monotone voice however the content of the book is put into a real world context. Some excellent pointers to reader further and put into action in my own life. I recommend this for anyone interested in how emotional intelligence can improve overall well-being and interactions within the community.

Very educational

The content of the book is excellent, however, many times thought the recording, it will skip or fast forward and I found that extremely frustrating and disappointing. I will buy the actual book and read it to make up for the parts missed.

Amazing contente. Sloopy recording.

An amazing read - intelligent and insightful! Audio skips, maybe 6 occasions throughout. Otherwise brilliant!

Incredibly insightful, but audio skips

Less practical solutions for personal development it's more about why emotional intelligence matters and how it functions and develops. Old book and old style...

The voice is old fashion and not engaging at all. It was off putting till I got used to it.

Not as I expected

This book is an essential read if for understanding the influences of how a person develops emotional intelligence. There is a good chunk of conceptual knowledge in each chapter, supported by anecdotes or practical scenarios.

Worth the time listening.

Essential book on understanding EI

If you want to learn how to improve your EI, this is not very suitable book! But if you are a parent of babies or young children, it teaches you how to raise an emotionally intelligent child!

Not what I expected!
