Magazines have a very interesting way of attracting our attention to the ‘headlines’ on the cover page. With loads of photos, interesting information given in short words and research information from across the world, it does a fantastic job of keeping the readers glued to it every month.

The book ‘Emotional Intelligence’ by Daniel Goleman, is interesting for the same reasons. Most of the chapters in the book begin with a ‘true story’ sort of anecdotes. We get glued, period. And hen there are loads of researches discussed in the book.

When any psychological technique is supported by a sentence like “ The research was carried out with 10,000 college students……….”, we immediately sort of trust that technique. And that is what the book is all about. It gives you the information about lots of different researches carried out by learned people and then talks about what we can learn from those researches. Simple aspects like hope, anger and positive attitude are discussed with the aid of researches. This makes the book very interesting to read and gives it a magazine like feel.

For simple insights regarding your behavior and behavior of people around you, this book is a good tool.
