"Social Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman

how's that going?  his style less grating yet?

I certainly found him grating.  Glad to hear I'm not alone.     The book had some useful information, though.

He's a bit annoying, I must admit, but also interesting.

Yeah, some things just didn't apply to me...but it gave me some much-needed insight into other people.

He's something of a preacher. Knows that he's right, acts like it, but without actually proving it. Not that he is necessarily wrong (I'm certainly not the right person to judge that) but something about his attitude bothers me.

that's so interesting: i haven't read the book itself, but listened to it as an audiobook.  i think it was someone else reading it, and i actually found it very easy to listen to.

Still haven't read my book I bought in November
I need to at some point though
I want to read it soon

I'm sure the reader's voice affects the content, for good or ill.  I wonder if you'd notice his tone if you went back and read the book.  He writes in a whiny and preachy style, that is for sure.  I'm always envious of people like that, people who are so sure they're right.  Smug, that's the word.

I might buy the dvd after I've read the book
It was Starbuline's favourite book
She read it a lot
nd she said before she died that one of the characters in it reminded her of me
She said that about a lot of people in books/movies lol, but she said it a lot about this one
I dunno if it's a good thing or a bad thing yet but she said it was a good thing

Smug is exactly right, yes.
