#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.
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.
