Emotional Intelligence
Archival Summary & Scope
Daniel Goleman's #1 bestseller, *Emotional Intelligence*, redefines what it means to be smart, explaining why high IQ doesn't guarantee success. Drawing on psychology and neuroscience, Goleman introduces our "two minds"—rational and emotional—and identifies crucial factors like self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy. He demonstrates how these emotional skills, far from being fixed, can be developed and strengthened, offering immediate benefits to health, relationships, and work. This 25th-anniversary edition features a new introduction by the author. "A thoughtfully written, persuasive account explaining emotional intelligence and why it can be crucial." —USA TodayCategorization Notes
