He describes a wonderful incident where Mayor Harold Washington, the first black mayor of Chicago, comes to visit his offices and so charms everyone, they forget to ask him for favours.

He also describes how he is continually learning about how to handle people, by watching other people do the same. All through the book Obama makes very perceptive comments about the people he meets and their emotions. While many reviewers have focused on Obama's trip to Kenya, he demonstrates his empathy very early in the book when he writes about the loneliness of his mother in Indonesia and the helplessness of his Indonesian step-father as he is overwhelmed by the power struggles going on in Indonesia post-Sukarno. Social EQ: Empathy & Relationship Management In the book, Obama loses his self-control twice: weeping when he finally reaches the grave of his father, and pouring beer on the floor during his wedding to Michelle (you have to read the book to understand the emotional significance of this incident but it is beautiful literature). Obama's composure has been written about by many people and indeed Goleman himself when discussing Obama makes the same point about his self-control. In Kenya the positions were of course reversed and white people were in a distinct minority. After a few days there he said to himself so this is how white person feels up till this time he had always been a minority living amongst a white majority. One passage I particularly liked described his arrival in Kenya. His self-analysis is quite striking, especially his humility, which is rare in a politician. It is a long book at 442 pages and traces Obama's journey from his childhood home near the beaches of Hawaii, to the markets and slums of Jakarta, and then to Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. The first thing to say about this book is that it is a beautifully written personal memoir steeped in honesty. Personal EQ: Self-analysis & Self-control Check it out here.Adopting the principle of going back to the original text, I have just finished reading Dreams From My Father and thought that I would test Obama against the four Goleman criteria of EQ. Update 2016.10.16Ĭreated new EQ preset that focuses on entire audio spectrum. If you do have such device, give it a try and let me know how it works.

I remember seeing it on some DVD players and LCD TV’s and even portable MP3/MP4 players, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to test it out yet. These settings can also be applied to hardware devices if they support equalizer like the one found on computers. Result will also vary depending on the speakers you’re using, so don’t expect too much from some generic 2.0 speakers with 5000W of PMPO power… I usually make 3 presets with different bass depth levels (going from left to right, first 4 sliders in decibel – dB) so I can quickly change the bass as needed.īe aware that using very high levels like the Deep Bass preset, will take away tiny part of the sound presence and will make it sound slightly different (compared to Flat preset), but the outcome will be a spectacular deep bass. Now as you can see from the image, that’s how you have to set it for a deep thumping bass. The picture above is from my Sound Blaster Z control panel, but it will work just the same in any other EQ. It doesn’t matter how many sliders there are in the EQ, always focus on first four sliders. The only thing that counts are the first 4 equalizer (EQ) sliders. You know, for explosions that shake up the entire room/house and doesn’t overdrive the subwoofer? Yup, this is exactly that.Īfter several weeks of testing in music, movies and games, I’ve come to an interesting finding. But sometimes even that just isn’t enough when you want to pump out that proper deep bass. Altec Lansing MX5021 is a THX certified speaker set which outputs some very good bass. I have a decent set of speakers, slightly older but still superb set.
