“Emotional intelligence. Why it may matter more than IQ, Daniel Goleman

The author of this book is a world-renowned psychologist who received his doctorate in philosophy from Harvard, where he later started teaching. He argues that our emotions play a much larger role in achieving success at home and at work than is commonly believed. So what actually is “emotional intelligence” (by the way, Daniel Goleman is considered, in principle, one of the creators of this term) and how does it differ from “ordinary intelligence”? And most importantly, how can I learn to cope with despair, anger, rage, depression and become more successful?

Life Strategy By: Clayton Christensen, James Allworth, Karen Dillon

Why does the pursuit of position and salary so often fail to bring happiness? Why don’t our loved ones understand us? Why do the goals we strive for often bring nothing but disappointment? These and many other questions occurred to management guru Clayton Christensen after several meetings with Harvard Business School graduates. He discovered that behind the trappings of success, many of his colleagues were deeply unhappy. But why didn’t these smart people who developed strategies for big companies manage to master the strategy of their lives? Instead of giving ready-made advice, the authors of the book suggest us to use well-known management theories, which are very easy to apply to our lives. Using the example of well-known companies, the book shows what mistakes we make when misallocating our resources.
