I got this book for free and thank Gosh. On other occasions, I have come through fantastic free books offered for Kindle by Amazon. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I suspect that all the 5-4 stars come from the writer's friends and family, because you need to be blind and your understanding limited not to notice that the "book" is not good, or would be good for Secondary School.GOOD THINGS+ It was free when I got it.+ It is short (46 pages).+ The subject is very interesting and helpful for self-growth.+ The book is clearly structured and organized.+ There are some helpful items of advice in it.+ The book has some simple exercises that you can do yourself.+ The language used is very simple to understand and approachable.BAD THINGS- This is not a book, it is a booklet.- The book is poorly written. Like lots of unnecessary wordiness saying nothing to fill up page after page.- Statements like "many authors say". Who? When? Where? and other generalizations are all over the place.- The book lacks depth, which is necessary to understand EI.- When reading it, you have the impression that a secondary school student was writing an essay, which was very good for secondary school, he got overexcited and self-published it on Amazon. Really, it reads like a good secondary school essay. No kidding.Don't waste you time and money on something that is, how to put it? poor... especially if you have to pay 3 bucks for it. If you are really interested in Emotional Intelligence read the classic by Daniel Goleman, which is fantastic and you won't be disappointed. It is a few dollars more but that one is the real deal.
