Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships Audiobook

" Lots of bits of research put together. Good stuff but I wasn't absorbing it. Maybe revisit sometime? "

" It can be a little dry and repetitive at times, but it's got a lot of interesting findings! I recommend it! "

" Emotional and social intelligence are fundamental concepts that should be woven into the fabric of our social and educational systems. While based on hard science, the writing is totally accessible to the common person. This is not a self-help book, rather a broad scientific overview of the biology and neuroscience behind our emotional and social interactions. Absolutely informative and fascinating. "

" Even better sequel to the popular bestseller, Emotional Intelligence, this book has provided me with comfort and reassurance. We are hard-wired to connect emotionally and socially, despite the cultural messages of individualism, selfish, greed and consumption. Our higher power has provided us internally with all the tool that we need to survive and thrive. "

" An interesting book, if a bit dry at times. "

" Okay book, but one major flaw - too much jargon! "

" Fascinating and eye opening. "

" This book can be dry at times but makes an important argument for putting weight on social intelligence, which affects literally every aspect of human life. "

" Slightly disturbing. "

" Rich with information and insight, fantastic. "

" I found this book fascinating. If you are interested in how our brain works in relations to others you will love this book. It talks about mirror neurons, emotional contagions and how our interactions with others impacts our immune system. "

" A must read for all teachers, doctors, salespeople. A great critical thinking book. "

" This is a fantastic book. Pretty technical. "

" This is an excellent thesis on the science behind human interactions. "

" Brilliant book! Love the way Daniel Goleman puts across scientific evidence in such a readable form "

" I know a couple of people I wish would read this. But I doubt they'd see themselves in the sections on narcissism and lack of empathy. "

" It's a difficult read as it is very dry, but with interesting parts. I only am able to read a few pages at a time, though because it does tend to put me to sleep. "

" Top tip: Chaplin had voluntary control of a facial muscle used in smiling that is used by most of us automatically (in the book via Ekman). "

" A nice sequel to Emotional Intelligence. Interesting read on the whole but drifted towards philosophy and sentimentality near the end. "

" Very interesting. It helped me understand my students a little more. But he seems to say that we are the way we are mostly because of how our parents treated us when we were toddlers! That's a short window! "

" Wow! This book really made me want to re-evaluate every relationship I'm currently maintaining. Seriously awesome & thought provoking! "

" I am mistified by the amount of facts about how our brain "NETWORKS" with others. The book made me want to know more about how we connect to each other. "

" A really good book. The author provides a detailed explanation of how the social brain works. An essential book. "

" If just one tenth of people read this, it would change our interactions with others. "

" Work related. Hopeing it will help me understand kids/people with Autism a bit better. Audio book for my work related travel and Mom taxi related travel! "

" A really good book. The author provides a detailed explanation of how the social brain works. An essential book. "

" Although the book provided a lot of interesting content, the author does go over the same points many times. He also adds many specialized vocabulary words I'm not sure were needed. "

" That’s an interesting book. But I feel like there are many chapters that are trying to convey the same message. "

" Great inside look at the neurology and physiology of human interactions. Easy read. "

" Kind of blah and overall mostly common sense. It has some interesting information about the brain, but other than that it was whatever. "

" Great book overall. Especially loved the first 3/4. The last bit was a lil dry for me. "

" One of the best books I read this year. Very well researched look at the way human brain processes social interactions. Very useful in understanding the underlying biological forces that determine our relationships with people and how you can use the knowledge to affect those relationships. "

" Um livro de autoaprendizagem, sobre como nos reagimos aos outros. Super interessante num ponto de vista autocritico e de autocrescimento. "

" Interesting beginning, with a lot of information about the mechanics of social interaction. Second half digresses into lectures about how we should get along. Worth reading for the first half. "

" a very good reading on the subject, will learn allot about your self "
