This has quite possible been one of the most influential books I have read in the last 5 years. My biggest take away was recognizing when emotions (The Dinosaur Brain) have taken over, I need to step away and allow my cortex (The Logical part of my brain) to get back in control.

A great read for those who would like to improve their interpersonal skills in the office. Some of the book’s advice is dated to an earlier time of corporate culture. However it’s underlying truths about how to work with difficult people and be calm in the midst of chaos make it a good read for those seeking how to navigate the corporate jungle without losing their sanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars SO THAT IS HOW OUR MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ACT!
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2015
Verified Purchase
How true and definitely good book to read on human behavior in and out of the workplace. I purchased this book back in 1990 when I was taking industrial psychology and Engineering Management courses in graduate school. After Hurricane Katrina, I lost it in a flood along with all my university textbooks. So I purchased it as a Kindle 25 years ago to remind me why I bought it. This is a must read for everyone and great name for it. When you watch the news and listen to media and politicians you will more likely consider yourself on a higher emotional level than most of them.

This is one of my all time favorite books for a simple explanation of the human brain and emotions. I had loaned my copy out and it never came back. I was happy to see the book for sale so I got myself another copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very worthwhile read, especially for those that work in competitive environments
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2015

This is a really good book for anyone that works in an industry that may have more alpha personalities. It does a great job of identifying different instinctual subconscious behaviors. Besides just identifying the behaviors is also details how to handle them, and even better in some cases how to channel them to turn them from a negative into a positive trait. I also felt it was a great read to inspire self assessment and seek to improve behavior in the office and out of the office.

Published in 1989, the old age has not withered its value. This is the best book i've ever read on soft skills. In reading it, you'll understand how and why people act and react the way they do and learn a lot about yourself in the process. A invaluable tool if you want to improve your emotional intelligence and still have a laugh doing so.
