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.

Now, once again, Daniel Goleman has written a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are “wired to connect” and the surprisingly deep impact of our relationships on every aspect of our lives.

Far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies—down to the level of our genes—for good or ill. In Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman explores an emerging new science with startling implications for our interpersonal world. Its most fundamental discovery: we are designed for sociability, constantly engaged in a “neural ballet” that connects us brain to brain with those around us.

Our reactions to others, and theirs to us, have a far-reaching biological impact, sending out cascades of hormones that regulate everything from our hearts to our immune systems, making good relationships act like vitamins—and bad relationships like poisons. We can “catch” other people’s emotions the way we catch a cold, and the consequences of isolation or relentless social stress can be life-shortening. Goleman explains the surprising accuracy of first impressions, the basis of charisma and emotional power, the complexity of sexual attraction, and how we detect lies. He describes the “dark side” of social intelligence, from narcissism to Machiavellianism and psychopathy. He also reveals our astonishing capacity for “mindsight,” as well as the tragedy of those, like autistic children, whose mindsight is impaired.

Is there a way to raise our children to be happy? What is the basis of a nourishing marriage? How can business leaders and teachers inspire the best in those they lead and teach? How can groups divided by prejudice and hatred come to live together in peace?

The answers to these questions may not be as elusive as we once thought. And Goleman delivers his most heartening news with powerful conviction: we humans have a built-in bias toward empathy, cooperation, and altruism–provided we develop the social intelligence to nurture these capacities in ourselves and others.

Since the actions of the leader apparently account for up to 70 percent of employees' perception of the climate of their organization, Goleman and his team emphasize the importance of developing what they term "resonant leadership." Focusing on the four domains of emotional intelligence--self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management--they explore what contributes to and detracts from resonant leadership, and how the development of these four EI competencies spawns different leadership styles. The best leaders maintain a style repertoire, switching easily between "visionary," "coaching," "affiliative," and "democratic," and making rare use of less effective "pace-setting" and "commanding" styles. The authors' discussion of these methods is informed by research on the workplace climates engendered by the leadership styles of more than 3,870 executives. Indeed, the experiences of leaders in a wide range of work environments lend real-life examples to much of the advice Goleman et al. offer, from developing the motivation to change and creating an improvement plan based on learning rather than performance outcomes, to experimenting with new behaviors and nurturing supportive relationships that encourage change and growth. The book's final section takes the personal process of developing resonant leadership and applies it to the entire organizational culture. --S.

*What are the root causes of destructive behavior?

*How can we control the emotions that drive these impulses?

*Can we learn to live at peace with ourselves and others?

Imagine sitting with the Dalai Lama in his private meeting room with a small group of world-class scientists and philosophers. The talk is lively and fascinating as these leading minds grapple with age-old questions of compelling contemporary urgency. Daniel Goleman, the internationally bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence, provides the illuminating commentary—and reports on the breakthrough research this historic gathering inspired.

Destructive Emotions

Buddhist philosophy tells us that all personal unhappiness and interpersonal conflict lie in the “three poisons”: craving, anger, and delusion. It also provides antidotes of astonishing psychological sophistication--which are now being confirmed by modern neuroscience. With new high-tech devices, scientists can peer inside the brain centers that calm the inner storms of rage and fear. They also can demonstrate that awareness-training strategies such as meditation strengthen emotional stability—and greatly enhance our positive moods.

The distinguished panel members report these recent findings and debate an exhilarating range of other topics: What role do destructive emotions play in human evolution? Are they “hardwired” in our bodies? Are they universal, or does culture determine how we feel? How can we nurture the compassion that is also our birthright? We learn how practices that reduce negativity have also been shown to bolster the immune system. Here, too, is an enlightened proposal for a school-based program of social and emotional learning that can help our children increase self-awareness, manage their anger, and become more empathetic.

Throughout, these provocative ideas are brought to life by the play of personalities, by the Dalai Lama’s probing questions, and by his surprising sense of humor. Although there are no easy answers, the dialogues, which are part of a series sponsored by the Mind and Life Institute, chart an ultimately hopeful course. They are sure to spark discussion among educators, religious and political leaders, parents—and all people who seek peace for themselves and the world.


The Mind and Life Institute sponsors cross-cultural dialogues that bring together the Dalai Lama and other Buddhist scholars with Western scientists and philosophers. Mind and Life VIII, on which this book is based, took place in Dharamsala, India, in March 2000.]]> 829 3.81 3132 480 2002 27537 0553378589 9780553378580 20 <![CDATA[Working with Emotional Intelligence]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167881694m/27537.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167881694s/27537.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27537.Working_with_Emotional_Intelligence 3.52 160
The secret of success is not what they taught you in school. What matters most is not IQ, not a business school degree, not even technical know-how or years of expertise. The single most important factor in job performance and advancement is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is actually a set of skills that anyone can acquire, and in this practical guide, Daniel Goleman identifies them, explains their importance, and shows how they can be fostered.

For leaders, emotional intelligence is almost 90 percent of what sets stars apart from the mediocre. As Goleman documents, it's the essential ingredient for reaching and staying at the top in any field, even in high-tech careers. And organizations that learn to operate in emotionally intelligent ways are the companies that will remain vital and dynamic in the competitive marketplace of today--and the future.

Comprehensively researched, crisply written, and packed with fascinating case histories of triumphs, disasters, and dramatic turnarounds, Working with Emotional Intelligence may be the most important business book you'll ever read.


<!-- Daniel Goleman's pioneering blockbuster, Emotional Intelligence, is a staggering success: that rare book that not only tops bestseller lists for months, but which also makes an important concept part of our common lexicon. In his second book--already a national bestseller with more than 250,000 hardcover copies in print--Goleman shows businesspeople why it is "EQ and not MBA" that can determine the bottom line in today's volatile business world.

Drawing on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and studies in more than 500 organizations, Goleman documents an astonishing fact: in determining star performance in every field, emotional intelligence matters twice as much as IQ or technical expertise.

Readers also discover how emotional competence can be learned. Goleman analyzes five key sets of skills and vividly shows how they determine who is hired and who is fired in the top corporations in the world. He also provides guidelines for training in the "emotionally intelligent organization," in chapters that no one, from manager to CEO, should miss.

WORKING WITH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE could prove to be the most important reference for bottom-line businesspeople in the first decades of the 21st century. -->]]> 829 3.81 3132 480 1998 704732 0553115782 9780553115789 0 <![CDATA[Journey of awakening : a meditator's guidebook]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/704732.Journey_of_awakening_a_meditator_s_guidebook 0.0 0 14525 4.20 1690 233 829 3.81 3132 480 1978 5867865 0385527829 9780385527828 29 <![CDATA[Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/58/865/5867865-m-1255636180.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/books/58/865/5867865-s-1255636180.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5867865.Ecological_Intelligence_How_Knowing_the_Hidden_Impacts_of_What_We_Buy_Can_Change_Everything 3.41 81 The bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence and Primal Leadership now brings us Ecological Intelligence—revealing the hidden environmental consequences of what we make and buy, and how with that knowledge we can drive the essential changes we all must make to save our planet and ourselves.

We buy “herbal” shampoos that contain industrial chemicals that can threaten our health or contaminate the environment. We dive down to see coral reefs, not realizing that an ingredient in our sunscreen feeds a virus that kills the reef. We wear organic cotton t-shirts, but don’t know that its dyes may put factory workers at risk for leukemia. In Ecological Intelligence, Daniel Goleman reveals why so many of the products that are labeled green are a “mirage,” and illuminates our wild inconsistencies in response to the ecological crisis.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, Goleman explains why we as shoppers are in the dark over the hidden impacts of the goods and services we make and consume, victims of a blackout of information about the detrimental effects of producing, shipping, packaging, distributing, and discarding the goods we buy.

But the balance of power is about to shift from seller to buyer, as a new generation of technologies informs us of the ecological facts about products at the point of purchase. This “radical transparency” will enable consumers to make smarter purchasing decisions, and will drive companies to rethink and reform their businesses, ushering in, Goleman claims, a new age of competitive advantage.

--From the Introduction by Daniel Goleman

Business: The Ultimate Resource offers unique access to the expertise and ideas that will drive global commerce and the art of management in the twenty-first century.

Business also includes colorful, and often surprising, biographies of the pioneers who have left their indelible marks on the business landscape: from the larger-than-life "robber barons," such as financier J.P. Morgan and oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, to today's high-tech and media titans, Bill Gates and Martha Stewart; from the groundbreaking research of W. Edwards Deming on quality and Abraham Maslow on psychological needs to today's high-profile strategy gurus, Gary Hamel and Rosabeth Moss Kanter.

Every page of Business is filled with information, inspiration, and application. For example, the management library section illuminates the most influential business books of all time, including Sun Tzu's timeless The Art of War, Alfred P. Sloan's My Years with General Motors, and James Champy and Michael Hammer's controversial bestseller, Reengineering the Corporation.

"In den sechziger und siebziger Jahren konnte man Karriere machen, wenn man die richtigen Schulen besuchte und einen guten Abschluß vorlegte. Doch die Welt ist voll von gut ausgebildeten, einstmals vielversprechenden Männern und Frauen, die wegen entscheidender Mängel an emotionaler Intelligenz in ihrer Berufslaufbahn steckengeblieben oder schlimmer noch, gescheitert sind."

Worin drückt sich nun die emotionale Intelligenz im Betrieb aus? Goleman arbeitet heraus, daß es im Wesentlichen dabei unter anderem auf folgende grundlegende Fähigkeiten ankommt: "Zuhören können, kreative Reaktion auf Rückschläge, Gewandtheit, Selbstvertrauen, Fähigkeit zur Beilegung von Meinungsverschiedenheiten." In der Mehrzahl sind dies Fertigkeiten, die bis heute in keinem Unterrichtsfach der Schule oder Universität gelehrt werden. Für die Zukunft werden sie jedoch von entscheidender, nicht zu unterschätzender Bedeutung sein.

Golemans Erfolgsquotient gehört aus diesem Grund eigentlich zu jedem Abiturzeugnis einer Schule dazugepackt, und auf jeden Fall in die Hand eines Personalchefs. Pflichtlektüre in den Führungsetagen wird Der Erfolgsquotient sicher. --Manuela Haselberger

Since the actions of the leader apparently account for up to 70 percent of employees' perception of the climate of their organization, Goleman and his team emphasize the importance of developing what they term "resonant leadership." Focusing on the four domains of emotional intelligence--self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management--they explore what contributes to and detracts from resonant leadership, and how the development of these four EI competencies spawns different leadership styles. The best leaders maintain a style repertoire, switching easily between "visionary," "coaching," "affiliative," and "democratic," and making rare use of less effective "pace-setting" and "commanding" styles. The authors' discussion of these methods is informed by research on the workplace climates engendered by the leadership styles of more than 3,870 executives. Indeed, the experiences of leaders in a wide range of work environments lend real-life examples to much of the advice Goleman et al. offer, from developing the motivation to change and creating an improvement plan based on learning rather than performance outcomes, to experimenting with new behaviors and nurturing supportive relationships that encourage change and growth. The book's final section takes the personal process of developing resonant leadership and applies it to the entire organizational culture. --S.

Wie entsteht sie? Welche Bedingungen fördern sie, welche verhindern sie? Dazu haben sie Ergebnisse der Kreativitätsforschung zusammengetragen und stellen Menschen vor, die neue Ideen verwirklicht haben und innovative Projekte, die dabei entstanden sind.

Überraschend ist die strenge Definition von Kreativität. Es reicht nicht aus, daß etwas neu und ungewöhnlich ist, es muß auch nützlich sein und so sinnvoll, daß andere es -- früher oder später -- ernst nehmen. Der kreative Mensch ist von seiner Idee so überzeugt, daß er auch gegen Widerstände daran festhält. Wissen, Ausdauer, Mut zum Risiko und Leidenschaft sind persönliche Voraussetzungen, die ihn auszeichnen. Im Unterschied zur landläufigen Meinung ist Kreativität keine Allround-Fähigkeit, die sich für jede Beschäftigung nutzen läßt, sondern beschränkt sich auf ein bestimmtes Gebiet.

Doch diese strengen Maßstäbe, die die Kreativitätsforschung aus der Beobachtung kreativer Ausnahmeerscheinungen wie Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Martha Graham etc. abgeleitet hat, sollen den Leser nicht entmutigen, seine Kreativität im Alltag zu schätzen und zu fördern. Hier führt sie zwar 'nur' zu neuen Lösungen für alltägliche Verrichtungen und man wird nicht berühmt dabei, doch sie steigert auf jeden Fall die Lebensfreude. Die Projekte, die sie im zweiten Teil des Buches beschreiben, zeigen Möglichkeiten auf, im Bereich der Erziehung, am Arbeitsplatz und im sozialen Umfeld Kreativität zu fördern und einzusetzen.

Ein unterhaltsames Lesebuch rund um "den Geist der Kreativität", das Informationen und Anregungen bietet, "Kreativität (zu) entdecken" -- die eigene und die anderer. --Roswitha Maria Schmaltz

We buy “herbal” shampoos that contain industrial chemicals that can threaten our health or contaminate the environment. We dive down to see coral reefs, not realizing that an ingredient in our sunscreen feeds a virus that kills the reef. We wear organic cotton t-shirts, but don’t know that its dyes may put factory workers at risk for leukemia. In Ecological Intelligence, Daniel Goleman reveals why so many of the products that are labeled green are a “mirage,” and illuminates our wild inconsistencies in response to the ecological crisis.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, Goleman explains why we as shoppers are in the dark over the hidden impacts of the goods and services we make and consume, victims of a blackout of information about the detrimental effects of producing, shipping, packaging, distributing, and discarding the goods we buy.

But the balance of power is about to shift from seller to buyer, as a new generation of technologies informs us of the ecological facts about products at the point of purchase. This “radical transparency” will enable consumers to make smarter purchasing decisions, and will drive companies to rethink and reform their businesses, ushering in, Goleman claims, a new age of competitive advantage.]]> 829 3.81 3132 480 2010 491990 9506440271 9789506440275 0 <![CDATA[El Lider Resonante Crea Mas]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/491990.El_Lider_Resonante_Crea_Mas 0.0 0 829 3.81 3132 480 2003 6568660 1934441090 9781934441091 0 <![CDATA[Ecological Awareness: Dialogues on Ecological Intelligence]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6568660-ecological-awareness 0.0 0

Schon Aristoteles wusste, wie wichtig der angemessene Umgang mit Emotionen ist und nannte es Tugend. Aber es lohnt, wieder einmal darüber nachzudenken, warum Gefühle so vital, aber auch so selbstzerstörerisch sein können.

Für die Vertonung des Sachbuchbestsellers hat Hardy Tasso einen gelungenen Weg eingeschlagen. Die ausgewählen Textzitate, gelesen von Edgar M. Böhlke, werden von Moritz Stöpel eingeordnet und in Zusammenhang gebracht, und Dorothea Gädeke steuert Beispiele aus der Praxis bei. Authentizität bekommt das Feature durch die englischsprachigen Erläuterungen Golemans selbst. Eine wohltuend abwechslungsreiche Stimmenvielfalt, akustisch getrennt durch dezente Sphärenklänge. Die unterschiedlichen Lautstärkepegel der Sprecher sind zu verzeihen.

Since the actions of the leader apparently account for up to 70 percent of employees' perception of the climate of their organization, Goleman and his team emphasize the importance of developing what they term "resonant leadership." Focusing on the four domains of emotional intelligence--self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management--they explore what contributes to and detracts from resonant leadership, and how the development of these four EI competencies spawns different leadership styles. The best leaders maintain a style repertoire, switching easily between "visionary," "coaching," "affiliative," and "democratic," and making rare use of less effective "pace-setting" and "commanding" styles. The authors' discussion of these methods is informed by research on the workplace climates engendered by the leadership styles of more than 3,870 executives. Indeed, the experiences of leaders in a wide range of work environments lend real-life examples to much of the advice Goleman et al. offer, from developing the motivation to change and creating an improvement plan based on learning rather than performance outcomes, to experimenting with new behaviors and nurturing supportive relationships that encourage change and growth. The book's final section takes the personal process of developing resonant leadership and applies it to the entire organizational culture. --S.
