Emotional Intelligence was an international phenomenon, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and selling more than five million copies worldwide. Now, once again, Daniel Goleman has written a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are “wired to connect” and the surprisingly deep impact of our relationships on every aspect of our lives.
Far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies—down to the level of our genes—for good or ill. In Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman explores an emerging new science with startling implications for our interpersonal world. Its most fundamental discovery: we are designed for sociability, constantly engaged in a “neural ballet” that connects us brain to brain with those around us.
Our reactions to others, and theirs to us, have a far-reaching biological impact, sending out cascades of hormones that regulate everything from our hearts to our immune systems, making good relationships act like vitamins—and bad relationships like poisons. We can “catch” other people’s emotions the way we catch a cold, and the consequences of isolation or relentless social stress can be life-shortening. Goleman explains the surprising accuracy of first impressions, the basis of charisma and emotional power, the complexity of sexual attraction, and how we detect lies. He describes the “dark side” of social intelligence, from narcissism to Machiavellianism and psychopathy. He also reveals our astonishing capacity for “mindsight,” as well as the tragedy of those, like autistic children, whose mindsight is impaired.
Is there a way to raise our children to be happy? What is the basis of a nourishing marriage? How can business leaders and teachers inspire the best in those they lead and teach? How can groups divided by prejudice and hatred come to live together in peace?
The answers to these questions may not be as elusive as we once thought. And Goleman delivers his most heartening news with powerful conviction: we humans have a built-in bias toward empathy, cooperation, and altruism–provided we develop the social intelligence to nurture these capacities in ourselves and others.

##當我們以自我為中心時,我們遇到的問題就會越來越多,自我封閉就會越來越嚴重,我們的世界就會越來越小。而當我們關注他人時,我們的世界就會越來越豐富多彩,我們自己的問題就會顯得渺小,而且我們的交往能力可以得到加強,從而引發幫助他人的善舉。
評分##在本書中我已經看不到在哈佛商業評論精粹譯叢《突破領導力》中的那個戈爾曼瞭。 當初那個根據自身收集的資料,研究不同的領導風格對下屬的影響,並且使結果精確到讓人拍案叫絕程度的戈爾曼在這本書中業已遺憾地消失。 在看這本書之前我隻看過他在哈佛商業評論精粹譯叢中的兩篇...

評分##《社交商》 丹尼爾·戈爾曼在他的《情商》之後,再次推齣另一個概念——社交商,由於《情商》我一直沒能買到而未讀,無法評說這二本之間的差彆,同時這本《社交商》也基本處於該研究的初級階段,是否能像情商一樣帶來巨大的影響還不可知。 書中作者引入大量的“科學研...
