Presenting a revolutionary book that redefines the concept of intelligence, now featuring a fresh introduction penned by the author.
It’s a universally acknowledged truth that a high IQ doesn’t necessarily guarantee success, happiness, or moral virtue. However, before “Emotional Intelligence,” the reasons behind this phenomenon were largely speculative. In this remarkable exploration of the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience, Daniel Goleman provides enlightening new insights into our “two minds”—the rational and the emotional—and how their intricate interplay shapes our life trajectory.
Leveraging cutting-edge research in brain science and behavior, Goleman unveils the dynamics at play when individuals with high IQs falter while those with more modest intelligence excel surprisingly well. These dynamics encompass factors such as self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, collectively constituting an alternative form of intelligence—a type that isn’t predetermined at birth. Although childhood experiences play a role, emotional intelligence can be cultivated and fortified throughout our adult lives, yielding immediate advantages for our well-being, relationships, and professional endeavors.
As the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of “Emotional Intelligence” emerges, its relevance couldn’t be timelier. Given our increasing reliance on online platforms, the automation and digitization of jobs, and the rapid tech uptake among our children, this edition, accompanied by the author’s new introduction, equips readers to tap into their fullest potential and distinguish themselves in the crowd through the power of emotional intelligence.
