Anyone truly concerned with understanding human behavior and how such learning can be converted to a meaningful life on the planet know one of the hottest topics over the past decade is "Emotional Inteliigence." It began most popularly with the work of Daniel Goleman, but there were hints of it in the 1950s by Erving Goffman when he published a book with the title "The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life." The work of such scholars is admirable and we are all better off for it, but I'm here to say that information from such pioneers is made much more serviceable to us because of this book by Conway. He writes so fluently about fluency in understanding our feelings and those of others. And he puts the burden of learning so smoothly, good-naturedly and accurately on our own shoulders. I leave with this one example: When it comes to emotions, he says that you can only change you. That's the good news. "That means you actually WANT the problem to be you. If it's you, YOU have all the power."If Emotional IQ is a subject that fascinates you, Conway's your man to get you there authoritatively and enjoyably. Pick up your Kindle and tap it in.
