Daniel Goleman Introduces Emotional Intelligence | Big Think

The teller says that the EI has a range of different aspects, for people in the top 10% there is no difference between men and women at EI. Daniel Goleman specifies about the culture that Americans find it difficult to recognize the EI in Japanese which says that the EI varies according to culture and it’s important to have a perspective of open-mindedness towards cultures

The most important domain explained by Daniel Goleman of EI is an amalgamation of the above. The building up of EI for any individual is a time-consuming process as the brain part that can support EI is the last circuitry that becomes anatomically mature. To get used to having a high EI, the best suggestion made by Daniel Goelman is to nurture kids with EI consistency to develop because the brain's neuroplasticity is shaped based on experiences over time the kids will develop a better and more empathetic society.

Even though the programs for EI have been initiated in many schools, there are some doubts about if this program could work. Based on the research stats video on kids in the video who had EI programs in school vs those who didn’t, the behavior of students has a positive impact. The reason for this resolution is that the programs are showing the effect on the executive functioning of the prefrontal cortex that regulates thoughts, actions, and emotions.

It might look like we are becoming more EI as the environment changes but, Daniel Goleman thinks we aren’t becoming more Emotionally Intelligent because of the wars, and misunderstandings going on due to emotions going out of control. Overall, this video helps in a broader understanding of the EI to use it correctly in daily life and embrace potential decisions, understanding as well as relationships.
