Description
The groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be smart, with a new introduction by the author.
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.
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.”Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ” by Daniel Goleman is a groundbreaking exploration of the critical role emotions play in our personal and professional lives. Goleman challenges the conventional emphasis on intellectual intelligence (IQ) and argues that emotional intelligence (EQ) is equally, if not more, crucial for success and well-being.
Drawing on extensive research in psychology and neuroscience, Goleman delves into the components of emotional intelligence, including self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, motivation, and social skills. He illustrates how individuals with high emotional intelligence tend to excel in various aspects of life, from forming healthy relationships to thriving in the workplace.
The book presents compelling evidence that emotional intelligence can be developed and honed, offering practical insights and strategies for readers to enhance their own EQ. Goleman’s work has had a profound impact on fields such as leadership, education, and personal development, highlighting the significance of understanding and managing emotions in achieving success and fulfillment.
“Emotional Intelligence” is a seminal work that has resonated with a broad audience, fostering a greater appreciation for the often overlooked power of emotions in shaping our lives and influencing our interactions with others.
