The study of EI has been on my radar for a long time as a subject I wanted to learn more about. I was turned on to this book while listening to podcasts on the Be Here Now Network. It‘s a lengthy book that defines EI and explains the difference between EI and IQ. Goleman highlighted the benefits of EI. Once a thorough foundation is laid, Goleman applies EI to many emotions people experience. #MountTBR

A very close friend gifted this book to me 3 years ago but never got a chance to read it. Now that I have started reading it I‘ll make sure I complete it very soon. 🙌🏻

I CAN‘T DO IT ANYMORE!!!

I saw a list of books to read for grad students in 2018 that said this book was a game changer, life changing, and groundbreaking. I didn‘t find it to be anything new, in fact I was offended by some of it. These great examples were easy to pick apart and prove sketchy. I‘ve read much better books on this subject, honestly. This may be the book that popularised the term EQ/EI, but it‘s not the best.

GingerAntics I was excited to read it when I saw it could be used for continuing education credits at work, but I just can‘t do it. An hour of credit is not worth putting up with this book any longer than I have. I have other books that I can use for CE credit in my TBR list, and I‘ll find one that is worth the time and effort to read, that will contribute positively for my students and myself in the classroom and at the tutoring table. 7y

What a gross generalisation. I‘ve read far better books on this topic, but none of them are offered as credit. I‘m finding absolutely nothing life changing or groundbreaking about this book. I would be fired for making such generalisations with my students. #isitoveryet

My highlights in this book have become things I could easily argue against WITH PROOF without even trying. I hate to start a book and not finish, but I‘m getting dangerously close with this one.

This may be true for some people, but certainly not for all. When I am under the most pressure, when I feel like my anxiety meds aren‘t working, I slip into flow much easier than when I‘m perfectly calm. His all or nothing approach is really beginning to annoy. The one credit hour may not be worth this madness. #isitoveryet

Has Goleman ever heard of realists? It‘s like, for this guy, you‘re either an optimist or a pessimist. Still waiting for the groundbreaking, life changing portion of this book. #isitoveryet

According to this book, if it wasn‘t for my GAD I‘d be a bloody genius. I may even already have my PhD. Well, fine. Be that way.

“The train angry thoughts that stokes anger is also potentially the key to one of the most powerful ways to defuse anger...”

Not a fan of books that have basic grammar errors when they are supposed to be these ground breaking, life changing books. Ugh. Subject-verb agreement here people.
Angry thoughts are plural, therefore they stoke anger and are the key. #whoeditedthis #grammarmatters #grammarsaveslives #why #edit

CSeydel Interesting. As I read the sentence, the subject is “train”. “Angry thoughts” is the object of the preposition. “Train of angry thoughts” would indeed take a singular verb. 7y

CSeydel Never mind - you‘re right. “Is” goes with “train”. Seems like the author means to include “that stoke anger” inside the “of” clause. Altogether a poorly constructed sentence, really. Angry thoughts stoke anger? No kidding? 7y

GingerAntics @CSeydel maybe yeah...it makes sense when you take “angry thoughts” out instead of “train.” Hm. Maybe it would have been easier to understand in that way, which I‘m guessing was the intention, if it was worded differently... “the angry train of thought...” Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was really frustrated with that sentence. 7y

CSeydel It‘s a very awkward sentence! 7y

GingerAntics @CSeydel lol I know, in the end the thought wasn‘t very ground breaking. I understood that part at least. Probably needs to be reworded. 7y

CSeydel I won‘t be able to rest until I‘ve diagrammed it. I think it works if you put the prepositional phrase “of angry thoughts” AND the dependent clause “that stokes anger” BOTH under train, and then the subject-verb “train-is” still works. 🤔 7y

GingerAntics @CSeydel I‘m so glad I‘m not the only one who is taking issue with this sentence. Perhaps not necessarily in subject-verb agreement, but certainly with the word choice. I‘m also not finding this particular sentence to be groundbreaking or life changing. Perhaps that‘s other sentences in the book. Hopefully I‘ll get to those soon. The author has also informed me that worrying makes you more anxious, and sad things make you more depressed. 7y

CSeydel Wow, I need to write that down! Who knew? 😂 I hope it picks up! 7y

GingerAntics @CSeydel oh I was always horrible at diagramming sentences which is odd as I‘m usually a visual learner. I think it would have to be that way to work, though. This sentence seems slightly convoluted, and possibly made more complex than is necessary to effectively communicate the idea. Sounds like Hume. I thought I was taking a break from that. Oy. 7y

GingerAntics @CSeydel I know! I think I found the life changing/groundbreaking part. I‘d hate for you to miss it. Definitely write that down. 😂 7y

LiterRohde This was all the rage when I was doing my teaching undergraduate work 20 years ago. Even presented at a conference. And I‘ve now been teaching long enough to see fads come and go and come back. EQ or EI might just be another. I don‘t see anything wrong with these fads, per se, I just have come to see them as tools and not the panaceas they claim to be. We all want understanding bosses or teachers, but couldn‘t one also say Hitler had a high EQ? (edited) 7y

GingerAntics @LiterRohde yup, but my job gives continue ed (they call it TOLI credit for instructors/professors) credit for this madness. I also saw a reading list that claimed it would change your life. I‘m not seeing it, but if it means I don‘t have to spend my free time in some dry presentation at work, I‘m happy with that. At least I can do this anywhere. Next up is something on “growth mindset.” That‘s a favourite buzz word at the moment. 7y

LiterRohde @GingerAntics I wasn‘t saying this stuff isn‘t useful. I‘ve got two books on ‘growth mindset‘ sitting on my coffee table. Much of it is - in the right situation, with the right person. Most of them, however, claim to be the magic bullet. I learn what I can, incorporate what seems reasonable, and then use them all as bullets in the right place at the right time. I‘ve quit looking for snake oil or one size fits all as I think so many still do. (edited) 7y

LiterRohde @GingerAntics The job I‘m at right now literally focuses on a different buzz word each year. This year it was a narrow-minded definition of ‘blended learning‘ focused on a student-directed program. We were expected to use it consistently throughout the year and have artifacts of evidence proving we used it. Instead, maybe just let me use everything I‘ve learned and am still learning in order to best teach my kids? Nope. That makes too much sense. (edited) 7y

GingerAntics @LiterRohde Oh I totally get that. This idea that there is a magic bullet is insane. The fact that educators actually fall for it concerns me. “Artefacts of evidence proving” you‘ve used a buzz word? For the love of all that is holy!!! 🙄 I find they claim this growth mindset is working, but all I see is they don‘t say “I‘m never going to get this” out loud when they think a teacher can hear them. 7y

GingerAntics @LiterRohde like you said, it‘s a tool. There are tons of them. The more tools you have to use the better the outcome, but acting like any one of them is the solution to whatever problem people think exists is nuts. Part of my job is with a collegiate high school, so it‘s supposed to be the fix for all their bad habits from their regular high schools. 7y

Three books alluding to or narrating Troubled Relationships. But really, what literature is not based on troubled relationships? Always the conflicts vs ourselves, our people, our environments, our hopes, our regrets...
