# Emotional Intelligence: Empathy **Author:** Daniel Goleman **Date Read:** 2019/11/10 **Rating:** 2/5 **Bookshelves:** ## My Review By framing empathy as a good tactical choice where apparently manifesting it in workplace in certain well-defined ways could result in an outcome of improved trust and teamwork seems to be an underlying driver of this book. Although based on extensive and possibly high-quality research in organisational psychology at Western, high income country corporate workplaces, the book appears much more about how to give an appearance of empathy rather than an intellectual journey into the biopsychosocial origins of empathy.
