With an updated introduction penned by the author, this revolutionary book reshapes the conventional understanding of intelligence.
While it’s widely acknowledged that a high IQ doesn’t necessarily guarantee success, happiness, or moral virtue, the reasoning behind this remained elusive until “Emotional Intelligence” arrived. Daniel Goleman’s insightful exploration, drawn from the forefront of psychology and neuroscience, offers fresh revelations about our “dual minds”—the logical and the emotional—and their intertwined influence on shaping our life trajectory.
Leveraging pioneering research into brain function and behavior, Goleman unveils the intricacies at play when individuals with impressive IQs falter while those with more modest IQs thrive unexpectedly. These intricacies, encompassing self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, collectively define a distinct form of intelligence—one that isn’t predetermined from birth. Although molded by early experiences, emotional intelligence can be cultivated and fortified throughout adulthood, yielding immediate advantages for our well-being, relationships, and professional endeavors.
In the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of “Emotional Intelligence,” the timing couldn’t be more opportune. With an ever-increasing amount of time spent online, the automation and digitization of jobs on the rise, and our children assimilating new technology at an astonishing pace, this edition, bolstered by a new introduction from the author, equips readers more than ever to unleash their full potential and differentiate themselves from the crowd with the power of emotional intelligence.
