Perhaps success really isn't measured by a number you earn on a test? That is what this book suggests, and if you are looking for a thought-provoking read, buy this book. I think we all struggle with relationships, our inner thoughts and dealing with people in general. To master this, is emotional intelligence and will bring you far greater success than scoring high numbers on some test. This book is almost so complex that I can barely put how it made me feel into words. Infact, I will probably have to read it 3 or 4 more times before I can truly grasp everything it contains. There is plenty of behavioral research and even some neurological references. At times, it seemed a bit much that I couldn't quite grasp it all. If you can get past the research, it's a great book. Certainly a life-changing book if you let it.
