About this book

High IQ alone does not guarantee success, happiness, or virtue. Daniel Goleman examines research from psychology and neuroscience to explain why, exploring how the rational and emotional minds work together to shape human outcomes. Through examples, he identifies five key skills of emotional intelligence and demonstrates their role in determining success in relationships, work, and physical health. Goleman argues that emotional intelligence represents a new way to understand what it means to be smart. Unlike IQ, emotional literacy is not fixed early in life and can be developed. The book is addressed to parents, teachers, business leaders, and others interested in human development and a more civil society.
