5.0 out of 5 stars only going to read one book on Emotional Intelligence ?, October 26, 2001

If you are only going to read one book on Emotional Intelligence and are more interested in practical application then theory, this is the book. Casper does a remarkable job of explaining EI and synthesizing it with the work of many psychologists and authors into an easily understood model. Most importantly, she provides exercises, assessments and measurements. I have found this book equally useful on a personal basis and as a manager.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for evaluating employees, February 5, 2002

By 

Todd Peterson (Portsmouth, NH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: From Now on With Passion: A Guide to Emotional Intelligence (Paperback)

I am an Account Manager for an IT consulting practice. I am responsible for the delivery of multimillion dollar projects. It is vital that I hire and retain the brightest AND most reliable people I can. Teamwork and attitude are just as important to my project teams as expert IT skills. This book is a great tool for a manager to determine if a potential employee is worth hiring.

From the book, "EI or Emotional Intelligence is every bit as important as IQ, or Cognitive Intelligence, in determining our success and potential for happiness." Have you ever noticed that the most successful individuals are not always the smartest, but the ones with the best attitudes? This book teaches you how to both identify high EI in others as well as raising your own EI.
