“A thoughtfully written, persuasive account explaining emotional intelligence and why it can be crucial.”—USA Today
In "Emotional Intelligence," Daniel Goleman explores the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in success, happiness, and virtue, challenging the traditional emphasis on high IQ. Goleman delves into the interplay between rational and emotional minds, revealing how factors like self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy contribute to a distinct form of intelligence. Supported by cutting-edge research, he demonstrates that emotional intelligence is not fixed at birth but can be cultivated throughout adulthood, offering immediate benefits to health, relationships, and work. The twenty-fifth-anniversary edition, featuring a new introduction, is particularly relevant in today's digital age, where online interactions, automation, and rapid technological advancements demand a heightened understanding and application of EI for individuals to thrive personally and professionally.
