Escuchado en audiolibro. Funciona como una buena introducción a lo que es la inteligencia emocional y cómo ésta afecta a nuestras relaciones y estabilidad personal. A pesar del título, no es una guía a seguir durante 21 días, ni un plan de trabajo. Propone ese tiempo para interiorizarnos y reflexionar acerca de distintos aspectos en cada jornada, pero no encontrarán ejercicios prácticos ni actividades más allá de plantear ciertas preguntas que podemos hacernos. Orientado principalmente al ámbito laboral, contiene no obstante interesantes enfoques sobre el plano personal, y cierra el libro un análisis de la inteligencia emocional en los adolescentes.

Ya lo dije antes: como introducción al tema es bueno; pero si lo que buscan es un estudio riguroso acerca de la inteligencia emocional y/o algo práctico para trabajarla, busquen por otro lado.

In this book, the author purports to give you a 21-day roadmap to improving your emotional intelligence. The book's cover showing the title and subtitle do not wholly and accurately reflect what goes on in the book. From them, it appears that the book is about emotional intelligence on a personal level, but it is primarily about how to understand emotion in yourself and others as it relates to business.

I am a female, so something irritated to hear the author talk about mastering or managing emotions. To me, that is not what emotions are about; can one master or manage untamed nature? While we can strive to better understanding, we cannot. While I agree that self-awareness of your emotional state has value, I don't think it should follow that knowledge about emotions should be a springboard to manipulate the emotions of others, which it seems this author suggest. In part one of the book, it seems odd to me that he equates “people skills” with emotional intelligence. People skills, as it were, are so much more than anything to do with emotion. Similarly, the phrase emotional intelligence suggests more than just people skills.

In reading through it, it didn't come together as a "mental makeover" plan at all; rather, it is more like a collection of short essays about EI topics. I think this book needs a more precise vision or perhaps a different one. The cover should actually reflect with a book is about, for certain. I think it should be more tightly focused on what the author seems to care about, which is how emotions can be used effectively in the workplace as another tool for management and workers. Perhaps he even needs two books, one for the worker bee and one for leaders. The book could have used the hand of a developmental editor.

This book does not appear to have been professionally copyedited or proofread. It requires both. There are some inconsistencies within a text as well as errors with grammar, punctuation, and usage. Some words and phrases were overused; sometimes sentences were overlong. Some errors were glaring and did detract from the reading of the book; parts were difficult to get through.

As it stands, if you are hoping this book will benefit you on a personal level, not a professional one, these hopes may not be realized. At best, it is an error-ridden introduction to some of the concepts of EI.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Good information BUT...
Terrible writing. Did anyone proofread this book? Tons of errors with commas and lots of repetitive use of "on one hand," "however," and the like. There were run-on sentences and paragraphs of one long sentence. At least once it had a heading of "4 things ..." and then listed three. Hard to finish, skimmed the last 1/3 because of errors. Underserved is a word, but in context, it wanted undeserved. And I know my review is not all grammatically perfect, but I am writing a review, not a book.

The reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is the material. Not bad, took some points home. However, I thought I was going to learn more of a plan to help my EI, which it didn't really. At the end of Chapter 1 it asked what my plan was, and my answer is, I don't know yet.

I'm sure there are better books to learn EI from.

Este es el primer libro que leo en este 2024 y como cada año empiezo con un libro de autoayuda, este libro te enseña a dominar tus impulsos, a conocerte a ti mismo, a pensar antes de hablar, aprender a escuchar al otro y sobre todo dedicar tiempo a crecer como persona.

Es un libro muy corto que se lee de una manera muy rápida, me ha gustado para aprender los aspectos importantes para mejorar en tu vida, le he puesto 4 estrellas porque me ha parecido demasiado escueto comparado con otros libros de autoayuda.

I really enjoyed this book. This is not normally a book I would read totally. But I felt that it was helpful to me because I feel that I have emotional intelligence but I needed to understand it more. This book help me understand what I need to improve on some of my emotional intelligence. I have become more aware of it and now I understand it more cause of this book
Thank you

I think it was a good intro to emotional intelligence if you don’t know much about the topic or want a kickstart to becoming more self-aware of your own emotions. I wish there were more courses of action to correct unhealthy behaviors/habits rather than just addressing them and knowing they need to change.

Insightful

Interesting read, would have liked maybe more practical exercises to do as felt it for much to think about but not much to do.
Good book if you just looking to understand emotional intelligence

Me gusto el libro, sobre todo los consejos que da y en ese sentido las propuestas del final del mismo las destaco aún más. Fácil de leer y muy claros los conceptos, sin duda un buen libro para reflexionar y ajustar cosas en la vida diaria para bien de cada uno.

This could be a great book to introduce EI and become more aware of your emotions. I do not believe it’s transformational, but it is a great book to conceptualize what has been going on in your life to then start immersing in an EI journey

Crei que iba a dar mas contexto pero habla mucho de como la inteligencia emocional abre puertas y da ventajas en muchos aspectos y como complementarla con la inteligencia académica puede beneficiarnos

Excelente lectura para optimizar nuestro quehacer habitual.

Es libro que todo líder debe leer para concentrar sus energías y sobretodo para aprender a reponerse ante las adversidades del día a día. Recomiendo leerlo mas de una vez.

It is a great book with a lot of insights. BUT, at least with the Spanish edition, there are a lot of typographical errors. These book publishers need to hire better Spanish speaking editors to eliminate all the errors I find in their books. Human editors.

sin mucha información de utilidad

Un libro aburrido, que habla de la inteligencia emocional a grandes rasgos, bajo generalizaciones y sin proporcionar herramientas de utilidad para desarrollar la inteligencia emocional. Muy básico
