Customer Reviews Write your own online review. A great book for everyone...mothers, bosses, students, etc. February 7, 2003 Reviewer: from Silicon Valley, CA United States This book is excellent. I got the book on tape. The research and brain anatomy is fascinating. I cannot keep my ears off this book on tape. I learn several new concepts at every listening. There was one agrument made trying to compare a marriage to a worker-boss relationship, which does not appeal to me...my marriage is much more sacred and to think of my marrige in business terms turns my stomach. This book is not just for leaders in organizations, it would be helpful and fascinating for many different roles - motherhood, students, teachers, etc. Find Items On Similar Subjects Primal Leadership: Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence - H Emotional Intelligence Resonant Leadership: Renewing Yourself and Connecting with Others Through Mindfulness, Hope, and Compassion |
