The content is interesting at times but overall, the message got repetitive and I was looking for any useful information to put to use in my daily life from the book to no avail. Goleman spends over 13 hours in this audiobook to pretty much buttress the thesis with evidence from various sources including psychology, medicine, and educational programs. The main and only thesis of the book is: emotional intelligence is important. His more recent books include The Brain and Emotional Intelligence, and Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence - Selected Writings. Leadership that gets results demands a triple focus: on our inner world so we can manage ourselves on others, for our relationships and on the outer forces that shape our organizations and society itself. Goleman’s new book, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, argues that attention - a fundamental mental ability for success - has come under siege. The Harvard Business Review called emotional intelligence (EI) “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea.” Named one of the 25 "Most Influential Business Management Books" by TIME, it has been translated into 40 languages. Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times best sellers list for a year-and-a-half. The Wall Street Journal ranked him one of the 10 most influential business thinkers. Author of Emotional Intelligence and psychologist Daniel Goleman has transformed the way the world educates children, relates to family and friends, and conducts business.
