Summary: Science journalist Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence began as a collaboration with Bennett-Goleman, his psychotherapist wife. Now they have produced the excellent Emotional Alchemy, which has a foreword by the Dalai Lama. Blending cognitive therapy, cognitive neuroscience, Buddhist psychology, and meditation, Bennett-Goleman suggests that many people are ruled by maladaptive behaviors (schemas) stemming from childhood coping mechanisms. She investigates ten basic maladaptive behaviors--five used in close relationships and five for the larger community--and also explains that schema therapy deals with four human responses--thoughts, emotions, actions, and relationships. Each chapter ends with exercises designed to help the reader explore the root of the problem addressed. As more and more Americans come to expect quick fixes to problems, Bennett-Goleman sends an important message: the healing process is a slow one.
