Get the Summary of Daniel Goleman's Social Intelligence in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: A shrewd study of social intelligence.

Intelligence is a tricky concept to pin down. Highfliers in some settings can also perform terribly in others. We've all met that person whose IQ test results are off the charts, but who crashes and burns when it comes to making small talk at a party.

That's why neuroscientists and psychologists are increasingly interested in analyzing different types of intelligence, rather than finding a one-size-fits-all definition. That's where social intelligence comes in. It's what the person gifted with logical prowess, but who struggles to keep the conversation going, lacks: the ability to correctly "read" emotions, feelings and social situations.

And this type of intelligence is vital to navigating social life. It allows us to respond appropriately when confronted with other people's behavior. Whether it's assessing how desperate a would-be mugger is, or working out what's bothering our partners, social intelligence makes the world understandable and relatable.
