Synopsis#1 BESTSELLER - The groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be smart, with a new introduction by the author "A thoughtfully written, persuasive account explaining emotional intelligence and why it can be crucial."-- USA Today Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our "two minds"--the rational and the emotional--and how they together shape our destiny. But why is emotional intelligence important? Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. These factors, which include self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, add up to a different way of being smart--and they aren't fixed at birth. Although shaped by childhood experiences, emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened throughout our adulthood--with immediate benefits to our health, our relationships, and our work. The twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of Emotional Intelligence could not come at a better time--we spend so much of our time online, more and more jobs are becoming automated and digitized, and our children are picking up new technology faster than we ever imagined. With a new introduction from the author, the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition prepares readers, now more than ever, to reach their fullest potential and stand out from the pack with the help of EI., Goleman's report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into the "two minds"--the rational and the emotional--and how they together shape destiny., Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our "two minds"--the rational and the emotional--and how they together shape our destiny. Through vivid examples, Goleman delineates the five crucial skills of emotional intelligence, and shows how they determine our success in relationships, work, and even our physical well-being. What emerges is an entirely new way to talk about being smart. The best news is that "emotional literacy" is not fixed early in life. Every parent, every teacher, every business leader, and everyone interested in a more civil society, has a stake in this compelling vision of human possibility.

  • One of the BEST BOOKS I've ever read!

    I recommend this book to absolutely everyone. It's astounding! If people would read it and totally absorb it's message, the world could be changed for the better. The best thing I've learned thus far is about being hijacked by my emotions. I learned that I am the kind of person who can be easily taken over by emotion because I'm prone to thinking too much and .... Well, Mr. Goleman explains the whole thing in the book. But what I learned is to control my emotions, my thinking, by becoming aware of my emotions, particularly strong emotions, when I'm experiencing them. By engaging the rational part of my brain while experiencing strong emotions, just the act of trying to engage my thinking that way, it lessens the intensity of the emotion. It's amazing!
