Book Reviews of Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships

Book Review: NOTHING NEW
Summary: 2 Stars

Sorry to go against the polularity of this author, but as a doctor in psychology I don't find anything interesting in this book. As usual, Goleman uses too many examples in order to convince you of hardly sustainable arguments. In this book at least he refers to some formal research, but it is incomplete and poor. Psychologists have been studying intelligence for many years and we all know that there are different aspects to consider, but naming one of them specifically "social" doesn't make it something new.
I think Goleman is already living on the remains of his fame from Emotional intelligence, for which I would also apply the same critic.
