A Summary of “Emotional Intelligence” By Daniel Goleman

A Summary of “Emotional Intelligence” By Daniel Goleman The intelligence tests were originally designed to screen the candidates with higher level of mental alertness. It is another debate whether intelligence equates to the IQ scores but it is a fact that majority of the successful people score average on IQ tests. Mental alertness may play some role but it is not the main reason of success, in most of the cases. Then what are requirements for a successful life?

The Power Of Habit Summary

The Power of Habit Summary Written by Pulitzer prize-winning reporter Charles Duhigg, 2012 New York Times bestseller  The Power of Habit  boasts a ubiquity on recommended book lists that few works from the past few years can match. Because some books age like wine, and some like milk, I usually let books alone a little longer to see how time will judge their value, but the truths and techniques within these pages are too valuable to wait. The Power of Habit  recounts a number of useful illustrations of the role of habits in individuals, organizations, and societies, and follows up with practical techniques to recognize and consciously direct the things that really control our behavior and our results.
