One to avoid

How to state the obvious - and stretch it out to 160 pages.
Glad I borrowed this from the library and didn't waste my own cash on it.

Quick and easy entry
|

If you are interested in a quick and easy entry to a part of emotional intelligence this might be the book to start with. Depending were you are with your self development you may find some parts of the book on the low end and not challenging. However, I think there are plenty of suggestions how to improve your social intelligence (or relationship managemnt as it is called in Daniel Goleman's EQ model).

Disappointing

When i looked at the blurb on the back of the book it seemed to promise so much. A life altering experience no less. However after spending 2 hours reading i was no better off than i started off with. All of us have social intelligence to a certain extent. Some more than others. However nobodies will be improved radically by this book. Some of Buzans best advice is that when you meet people you smile and shake their hand. The advice he does give is too superficial and lacks any detail or anyway to improve on it. He then later on in the book refers to items he seemingly taught you and tells you to use those skills with ones he is attempting to quickly gloss over.
