  <description><![CDATA[There was a time when IQ was considered the leading determinant of success. In this fascinating book, based on brain and behavioral research, Daniel Goleman argues that our IQ-idolizing view of intelligence is far too narrow. Instead, Goleman makes the case for &quot;emotional intelligence&quot; being the strongest indicator of human success. He defines emotional intelligence in terms of self-awareness, altruism, personal motivation, empathy, and the ability to love and be loved by friends, partners, and family members. People who possess high emotional intelligence are the people who truly succeed in work as well as play, building flourishing careers and lasting, meaningful relationships. Because emotional intelligence isn't fixed at birth, Goleman outlines how adults as well as parents of young children can sow the seeds.  ]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until <strong>Emotional Intelligence</strong>, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our &quot;two minds&quot;â€”the rational and the emotionalâ€”and how they together shape our destiny.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>The best news is that &quot;emotional literacy&quot; 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.<br/><br/><br/><em>From the Trade Paperback edition.</em>]]>

Goleman has written one of the best books on the nature and importance of other kinds of intelligence besides our perhaps overly  beloved IQ. Recommended.]]>

    <![CDATA[Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until <strong>Emotional Intelligence</strong>, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our &quot;two minds&quot;&#8212;the rational and the emotional&#8212;and how they together shape our destiny.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>The best news is that &quot;emotional literacy&quot; is not fixed early in life.

    <![CDATA[Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until <strong>Emotional Intelligence</strong>, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our &quot;two minds&quot;â€”the rational and the emotionalâ€”and how they together shape our destiny.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>The best news is that &quot;emotional literacy&quot; 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.<br/><br/><br/><em>From the Trade Paperback edition.</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[The Western cultures esteem analytical skills measured by IQ tests: but there is clearly more to success and happiness, even in technological societies, than IQ alone. Goleman has written one of the best books on the nature and importance of other kinds of intelligence besides our perhaps overly  beloved IQ. Recommended.]]>
