Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships, 
Emotional Intelligence: 10th Anniversary Edition; Why It Can Matter More Than IQ and http://face.paulekman.com/products.aspx.The first part the author makes argument how this have changed and will change in the future. He makes a compelling argument about the reason of job exports to Asia
. As someone who alway decried the erosion of America's manufacturing base and felt government and corporations were short sighted in allowing it to happen I am now changing my attitude and not that I am for it- I do feel many mistakes were made in the last few decades, but I now have the perspective of how ineviable it was. The author further talks about how knowledge works (engineers, lawyers, programmers, mostly left-brain careers, etc.) have begun and will quickly more to Asia and then be replaced by computer automation.
His direction is that it will be combining left brain logically activatives with right brain creative activities for future productivity. For example, Japan- the traditional left brain logical based ecomonies biggest export is now pop-culture (another head smack!).
Just a few quick thoughts for now on a book I would already recommend that I picked up via Amazon.com picks.
Also, I do not take a lot of time to proof-read- and I am awful at grammar- so if I miss something I apologize.
Jeff King at http://authorsunion.blogspot.com/, a blog I love- posed a question a few weeks ago asking our biggest faults- which after thinking about it I first thought focus, but I realized it was actually procrastination. I have 30 drafted blog posts that are not published because they are incomplete. I also didn't get to comment on his blog since I am having some kind of issue. So, as a note I wanted throw a shout out thank you to Jeff.
Anyway, thanks for reading! And I would love to know what you think.
Frank
