Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ
By Prof Daniel Goleman PH D
#1 BESTSELLER – The groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be smart, with a new introduction by the author
Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman is a groundbreaking book that completely redefines the conventional understanding of intelligence. This book explores the concept of emotional intelligence and sheds light on how it plays an essential role in our success, happiness, and well-being. Emotional Intelligence provides readers with a comprehensive and insightful examination of how emotional intelligence can be developed and nurtured to achieve success and happiness in life.
At the heart of Emotional Intelligence is the idea of “two minds,” rational and emotional, and the realization that these two minds shape our destiny. Goleman presents groundbreaking brain and behavioral research that shows us what factors are at work when people with high IQ flounder and people with modest IQ surprisingly do well. He explains that emotional intelligence is more important than conventional intelligence, which is measured by IQ.
The author delves deep into the factors responsible for emotional intelligence, such as self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy. These factors together form the basis of a new type of intelligence- the type of intelligence that is nurtured, developed and strengthened to achieve success, happiness and well-being in our adult life.
One of the most significant takeaways from Emotional Intelligence is that it is not fixed at birth. The author emphasizes that emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened through our adulthood, leading to a wide range of benefits in our health, relationships and work. With the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of Emotional Intelligence, readers get access to new insights that prepare us to leverage emotional intelligence in the digital age and stand out from the pack.
One of the critical aspects of this book is Daniel Goleman’s writing style, which is thoughtfully written and persuasive. He avoids using technical jargon and explains complex ideas in easy-to-understand language. This makes the book accessible to anyone who wants to learn about emotional intelligence and its impact on success and happiness.
USA Today calls Emotional Intelligence a “thoughtfully written, persuasive account explaining emotional intelligence and why it can be crucial.” And it’s easy to see why. This book will leave readers with a deep understanding of our “two minds” and how they shape our entire lives. The author doesn’t try to impose his ideas but allows readers to draw their conclusions through his comprehensive exploration of emotional intelligence.
The 25th edition of Emotional Intelligence is a must-read for anyone looking to foster their emotional intelligence and promote happiness and success in their life. This is especially relevant today, given that people spend too much time online, more jobs are becoming automated and digitized, and children are exposed to technology earlier than ever before.
