Emotional Intelligence

Why It Can Matter More Than IQ
Book • 1995
In 'Emotional Intelligence,' Daniel Goleman presents a compelling argument that emotional intelligence (EI) is crucial for success, happiness, and virtue.

Drawing on research in psychology and neuroscience, Goleman explains how EI, which includes self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, shapes our destiny.

The book details five key skills of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, managing emotions, motivation, recognizing emotions in others, and social skills.

Goleman shows how these skills can be nurtured and strengthened throughout adulthood, benefiting our health, relationships, and work performance.
