Jei atvirai - tai nesupratau šios knygos. Parašyta kaip vadovėlis, sudėtinga suprasti. Skaitosi sunkiai. Nerekomenduoju.

This has lots of exercises, however, it is so academic and dry in style it’s almost unreadable. There are some highlights worthy of returning to: pg 88, where your view of your conduct and your view of others’ behavior should be switched, so that you accept a compliment as based on your behavior and a criticism as based on opinion, rather than the usual other way round. Mirroring is discussed around pg. 291 or so but the book seems written for companies with scattered anecdotes about family life. This means that while it has an interesting idea about breaking down a vision statement into steps, it also recommends doing the same technique in meetings, which makes me wonder how long these q&a meetings actually lasted if someone tried them. The internal smile exercise to say hello to yourself somewhere around pg 300 or so was good. Worth a skim possibly but not a reread.

Началото на книгата ме накара да мисля, че това ще е чудесен практически наръчник към книгата на Даниъл Голман. Обаче се оказах подведена.
Тази книга проповядва идеята да се откъснеш абсолютно от емоциите си и да не позволяваш на никого и нищо да те афектира по какъвто и да е начин. Вместо здравословно леко дисоцииране от ситуацията, за да е способен човек на адекватна реакция, авторите предлагат да се разделиш с емоциите си и да им теглиш една майна и да се усмихнеш, защото щастието трябвало да идва по подразбиране. Това е вредна нагласа.
Освен това, превода е някак спънат. Четейки отделни параграфи из цялата книга, срещах не веднъж неща преведени напълно буквално от английски, които звучаха много грешно на български.

Не бих препоръчала книгата на никого честно казано.

Много добре написана книга, но все пак в нея някак си преобладава техническият подход на невро-лингвистичното програмиране или поне моето усещане е такова. Все пак дава добри насоки как да подобрим емоционалната си интелигентност. Подходяща отправна точка за всеки, който се интересува от тази материя.

Invaluable. I am so glad I came across this book.

Very informative about how we operate as humans

Anybody who wants to increase their awareness and learn more about our psychology needs to read this book

Dull as dish water with snippets of interesting anodotes.

British authors with more than ample dosings of the how to deal with the "stiff upper lip" syndrome.
