Аннотация

The 1995 publication of Daniel Goleman`s groundbreaking book was heralded by a Time magazine cover that read: "What`s Your EQ? It`s not your IQ. It`s not even a number. But emotional intelligence may be the best predictor of success in life, redefining what it means to be smart. " The hardcover went on to spend more than a full year on the New York Times bestseller list and "emotional intelligence" became a ubiquitous term in languages ranging from English to Portuguese, German to Chinese, Korean to Hindi.

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 experience, emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened throughout adulthood–with immediate benefits to our health, our relationships, and our work.

Daniel Goleman`s new introduction to the tenth anniversary edition traces the remarkable influence of Emotional Intelligence on our culture, on school programs, in business, and on psychological research. It will also answer key questions posed to Goleman during his worldwide speaking appearances.

The Emotional Intelligence: Tenth Anniversary Edition Reader`s Companion is designed to provide additional material for thought and discussion about the diverse topics covered in this fascinating and groundbreaking book.
