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.
Through vivid examples, Goleman delineates the five
crucial skills of emotional intelligence, and shows how they
determine our success in relationships, work, and even our
physical well-being. What emerges is an entirely new way to
talk about being smart.
The best news is that "emotional literacy" is
not fixed early in life. Every parent, every teacher, every
business leader, and everyone interested in a more civil
society, has a stake in this compelling vision of human
possibility.
