To hell with that damned Emotional Intelligence book. You see, the thing about being human is, you've got to learn from experiences. You can't read a book and understand by browsing through and contemplating on the author's words unless you have a clue of what he's really trying to say. And the clue, comes from the situations you've been put into vis-a-vis the subject matter. You can read it to understand why you did what you did, or said what you said when you were in the position described in that book. But you can't understand, never being in that position yourself.
I remember feeling all depressed reading about Dorian Gray and Lord Henry. I KNOW its all fiction but the author had some great insights to love, deceit, warmth, innocence, and cold. His life was by itself, a story of love, deceit, warmth, innocence and cold. Its no wonder his book was so precise. Those are the kind of books worth reading.
On the other hand, those books on spiritual healing, etc. I say, don't trust them unless you have valid evidence that the author has been through what he's preaching about.
Well, of course what I've mentioned above are of my opinion. If you beg to differ, don't let a mere opinion influence you from doing what you, yourself think is right.
In fana's words... "I'm just saying BAHHH...."
