Industry Reviews
"...[B]y the time you come to Goleman's five appendices and 29 pages of footnotes (more than you might find on the entire Bantam list in some years), you're in a better mood, ready to live his theses rather than question them. Translation: I'm divided. My amygdala says, 'Buy it, read it, absorb it, love it--the man speaks the truth.' My neocortex remains skeptical, annoyed by a few elliptical arguments, insufficient discussion of how emotional intelligence relates to free will, and the publisher's choice of a loud, self-promotional cover, which makes a smart book look like a dumb, exploitive book. But who wants a blurb from a neocortex anyway?"
Philadelphia Inquirer - Carlin Romano (10/08/1995)
"Impressive in its scope and depth, staggering in its implication, 'Emotional Intelligence' gives us an entirely new way of looking at the root causes of many of the ills of our families and our society, and many practical insights for honoring what makes us more human."

"Valuable insights for navigating the reefs and shoals of a contemporary career."
Pasternak
"Vivid, nontechnical science writing on issues of compelling importance."
Pasternak
Based on good empirical data (unlike many popular psychology books), this fine example is recommended for academic and larger public libraries. <BR>Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company.
Library Journal - Mary Ann Hughes
Some readers will consider the concept of 'emotional intelligence' as little different from traditional understandings of emotional adulthood and observe that Mr. Goleman scants powerful formative influences like mature religious faith. Others may argue that his vision of a school-based cure for a problem that begins at home adds unrealistic burdens to already stumbling systems. Nonetheless, Mr. Goleman, with an economy of style that serves his reformer's convictions well, integrates a vast amount of material on issues whose intricacy and problematic character he reveals in an original and persuasive way. <BR>Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company.
