    About this audiobook

    Emotional Intelligence was an international phenomenon, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year, selling more than five million copies worldwide. Now, with Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman presents groundbreaking work that synthesizes the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are "wired to connect."
    In richly anecdotal detail, Goleman brings to life the field of social neuroscience that has emerged in the decade since the publication of Emotional Intelligence. He shows that, 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. Our relationships create a setpoint for our daily moods and influence our immune response; they are crucial to achievement in students and workers; they determine whether or not some genes are expressed, for good or ill.

    Above all, Goleman explores the foundations of rapport, love, cooperation, and altruism, with major implications for the wellbeing of our families, communities, and workplaces. Whether you listen to this as a lover or parent, medical professional or businessperson, teacher or community leader, you will never see your relationships in the same way again.

      Another book that CHANGED MY LIFE! Thank you, Dr. Goleman! 10/10
    • 4/5
      Bottom line: we are cognitively wired to connect to others; it can be healthy or poisonous.
      To be reread :)
    • 4/5
      This is a really interesting book that covers a lot of interesting subjects such as education, romantic love, juvenile detention centers, jails, and so much more. I will definitely be listening to it several times.
    • 4/5
      A book that may have some really relevant ideas about how to maintain world peace, not just another self centered how to avoid stress and feel good as an individual. Interesting review from Librarythingers here, especially Carlie.
    • 3/5
      Not as good as Emotional Intelligence, also by Goleman. I expected more concrete advice & information, less academic exposition.
    • 5/5
      A very learned consideration of social intelligence that redefines Goleman's view of emotional intelligence. Full of interesting research but not as practical as karl Albrecht's book of the same name.
