Apparently emotional intelligence and social factors can be more important for professional success than intelligence. Well gee, who knew? "It's not what you know, it's who you know." I've always been brilliant and humble, but it wasn't until after graduating high school that I realized how important it was for me to be sociable. I'm still working on it! A while ago I bought a copy of Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence but I haven't yet found time to read it... I suppose I should move it up the queue.

Well, I think getting married is probably the accelerated PhD course in sociability.
The best book along those lines I've read is Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People.
DD: Yeah, you've learned a lot!
BB: I've read it, and itwas good!
Let me know if the book you're reading is as good or better.
