From the Publisher
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.
