Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., is also the co-author of Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body, as well as Emotional Intelligence Building Blocks. Dr. Goleman got his Ph.D. from Harvard and spent twelve years reporting on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times, where he was twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. He was honored with the American Psychological Association's Lifetime Achievement Award and is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Emotional Intelligence, Destructive Emotions, The Meditative Mind, The Creative Spirit, and Vital Lies, Simple Truths are among his other books.

Everyone understands that a high IQ does not ensure success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only speculate as to why. Daniel Goleman's remarkable report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience provides stunning new insights into our "two minds", the rational and the emotional, and how they interact to form our fate.

Using revolutionary brain and behavioral research, Goleman explains why people with high IQs struggle and those with low IQs do surprisingly well. These factors, which include self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, add up to a unique manner of being intelligent and they are not fixed at birth. Emotional intelligence, while molded by early events, may be maintained and enhanced throughout adulthood, with immediate advantages to our health, relationships, and job.

The 25th anniversary edition of Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ couldn't have arrived at a better moment, we spend so much of our time online, more and more jobs are being mechanized and digitized, and our children are learning new technology faster than we ever dreamed. The twenty-fifth-anniversary version, with a new introduction from the author, equips readers, now more than ever, to attain their maximum potential and stand out from the crowd with the help of EI.
