Overexcitable

It's a gorgeous day here in Vancouver and I'm off out to enjoy the city. Started reading Goleman's Emotional Intelligence and it's pissing me off. So, I'm going to take it to a cafe, order plenty of coffee, and nail down exactly why I'm so mad. Clearly from Goleman's assessment I could use the practice.

I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with his attitude that high IQ is largely independent of high EQ, but EQ is a better predictor of success in our society. I think it's the idea that a normative set of emotional skills are "better". Anyway at least it's fuel for the article mill, and gives me an excuse to revisit the awesome Rodin exhibit at the VAG. The Balzac series is cool.
