Atomic Habits

"Emotional Intelligence" delves into the significance of recognizing and comprehending one's own emotions and the emotions of others. Goleman emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and empathy as fundamental components of emotional intelligence.

Understanding Emotions

The book explores how emotional intelligence contributes to successful interpersonal relationships and effective social interactions. Goleman discusses the impact of emotional intelligence on communication, collaboration, and leadership skills, highlighting its role in building strong connections with others.

Relationships and Social Skills

Goleman provides practical insights and strategies for developing and enhancing emotional intelligence. The book offers readers tools to apply in their daily lives, whether in personal relationships or professional settings, fostering a better understanding of emotions and improving overall well-being.

Practical Application

"Emotional Intelligence" was written by Daniel Goleman. It's a book that explores the role of emotions in our lives and how emotional intelligence contributes to success in various aspects, including relationships and professional endeavors.

#1 BESTSELLER • The groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be smart, with a new introduction by the author “A thoughtfully written, persuasive account explaining emotional intelligence and why it can be crucial.”—USA Today Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our “two minds”—the rational and the emotional—and how they together shape our destiny. Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. These factors, which include self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, add up to a different way of being smart—and they aren’t fixed at birth. Although shaped by childhood experiences, emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened throughout our adulthood—with immediate benefits to our health, our relationships, and our work.    The twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of Emotional Intelligence could not come at a better time—we spend so much of our time online, more and more jobs are becoming automated and digitized, and our children are picking up new technology faster than we ever imagined. With a new introduction from the author, the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition prepares readers, now more than ever, to reach their fullest potential and stand out from the pack with the help of EI.

Understand yourself and those around you.
