Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

Book Review

Daniel Goleman's book «Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ» has been widely acclaimed by both critics and readers. Goleman offers a revolutionary concept, arguing that emotional intelligence (EQ) may be more important than the traditional intelligence quotient (IQ) in determining a person's success. Critics note that the author convincingly demonstrates how skills in emotion management, empathy, and social awareness can influence personal and professional achievements. Goleman supports his arguments with research and real-life examples, making the book not only theoretically sound but also practically useful. Some critics, however, point out that the book could offer more specific strategies for developing emotional intelligence. Nonetheless, it remains an important contribution to understanding human behavior and interpersonal relationships.
