Emotional intelligence : Why it can matter more than IQ

Is IQ destiny? Not nearly as much as we think. Daniel Goleman's fasinaing ang persuasive book argues that our view of intelligence is too narrow, ignoring a crucial range of abilities that matter immensely for how we do in life.Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. These factors, which include self awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, add up to a diferent way of being smart-one he terms "emotional intelligence." While childhood is a critical time for its development, emotional intelligence is not fixed at birth. It can be nurtured and strengthened throughour adulthood-with immediate benefits to our health, our relationships, and our work.Thie eye-opening book offers new vision of excellence that can change the future for us and for our children.xv + 413 pgs. 10,5 x 17,5 c
