Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman./ Abstract review by Vinod Nambiar.Dec. 4, 06Have you ever wondered what happens exactly inside your brain when you get butterflies in your stomach or when you are attracted to beautiful boy or girl, or even more commonly, when you are frustrated or in love with some one or something. What makes you bend and run covering your ears on hearing a huge explosion? Why you have the strange sensation just beneath your chest when you see your spouse cheating on you? We might mistake these as mere reflex actions. But what exactly controls these reflexes and impulses and how is the magnitude of reflexes determined by your brain. These are the sort of issues dealt with, in this brilliant piece of work by Daniel Goleman. Written in simple yet effectual way, making it easy to understand even for a person with petite profundity in human biology. One of the best books available on human psychology and by all means the most delightfully exemplified book on human feelings. The book begins with a modest sketch of human brain and the tasks carried out by each branch. Gradually moving to human behavior and appraisal of feelings associated with human emotions. What triggers these feelings? Why do these feelings overwhelm us? Why we lose control over them? How are the various signals passing in the brain determining the intensity of feelings you have and do not have. Envision a human who does not feel anything. Who is not able to record happiness and sadness. A human who identifies the danger but does not feel the emergency to protect himself from that danger. Daniel Goleman presents a repertoire of possibilities that we, as humans, could not exploit due to the bizarre ways our mind functions. The neocortex signaling, working of the prefrontal lobe and signal behavior of amygdala, all arranged in the most perfect narrative that you could possibly envisage. This book alone defines psychology in effortless expressions. Impact of stress emphasized incalculably by means of clinical data available.. The necessity to reduce stress in the contemporary lifestyle is the key topic in the concluding chapters. Perils of letting stress play with therapeutic severity of malignant tumors and cancerous augmentation in human body is also a very informative topic.. A brilliant piece of reference material on emotionally charged human brain. Goleman uses the most effective modus operandi to make the notions clear to the reader. Some of these concepts are deep-seated with clinical psychiatric research and analysis conducted world-wide on the performance of human brain. The data is presented in a speckled manner while dealing with the allied subject matter. In spite of very little references made on each analysis statistics provided, the information made available is authenticated. The reader gets an expansive vision of the subject instead of an unambiguous perceptive. Examples, in the vein of parable effect, are really a wonderful experience for the reader, as he or she relates easily to the situation presented. Many a times you would identify these stories to be episodically occurring in your day to day life. Refinement in presentation is a colossal liberation for readers bored by technical writing materials available on clinical psychiatry. A must for students, this book unbolts a new approach to observe yourself and others, in a societal environment. Beneficial to every one interested in erudition of human behavior. The book makes you emotional about your emotions in an emotional way.
