Emotional Intelligence

'An impressive argument that excellence is more than IQ' Daily Mail

'A well-written and practical guide to the emotions, perfectly pitched in tone' Financial Times

'Forget IQ. Brains may come in use, as may social class and luck, but as a predictor of who will succeed in any area of life, EQ is the thing to worry' Good Housekeeping

Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. 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.
