Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

In Stock.

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.

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.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

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 "emotional intelligence" 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.

From Publishers Weekly

New York Times science writer Goleman argues that our emotions play a much greater role in thought, decision making and individual success than is commonly acknowledged. He defines "emotional intelligence"?a trait not measured by IQ tests?as a set of skills, including control of one's impulses, self-motivation, empathy and social competence in interpersonal relationships. Although his highly accessible survey of research into cognitive and emotional development may not convince readers that this grab bag of faculties comprise a clearly recognizable, well-defined aptitude, his report is nevertheless an intriguing and practical guide to emotional mastery. In marriage, emotional intelligence means listening well and being able to calm down. In the workplace, it manifests when bosses give subordinates constructive feedback regarding their performance. Goleman also looks at pilot programs in schools from New York City to Oakland, Calif., where kids are taught conflict resolution, impulse control and social skills.

Full of Excellent Insights Guaranteed to Improve Your Personal and Professional Life

ByRick Bon March 14, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Goleman's modern classic presents a compelling argument for the recognition and appreciation of alternative views regarding what constitutes an individual's so-called "intelligence." He writes on a broad range of subtopics that are all backed by solid research, while still managing to keep his writing style more straightforward than pedantic. Goleman's lessons are as important now as they were when the book was first published two decades ago. As a former teacher, I believe that the current approach to education has never been more misguided. If only more administrators, politicians, and policymakers subscribed to Goleman's insights! Beyond the realm of education, readers in any field have the potential to gain useful perspectives from Emotional Intelligence, perspectives that can improve one's approach to both personal and professional challenges.

Thought provoking book - a must read for those in the business world.

ByAlex W.on July 2, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book has been around for awhile but current MBA programs have begun focusing on emotional intelligence in the classroom. It is an amazing interesting concept that, when understood, can help with navigating organizations.

A word of caution for prospective readers - this reads more like a textbook than a story. It is worth the effort but don't go in assuming the pages will fly by.

Absolutely Brilliant

ByAmazon Customeron April 17, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I am motivational youth speaker constantly looking for ways to refine my message and better serve our youth. This book has given me a treasure trove of new info to draw from. I touch on quite a few of the subjects already, but it's nice to have the science to back it up. I truly empathize with message. I went from a high school dropout to an NYU grad. My problem was never cognitive it was totally emotional. I only wish this was available when I was a kid, but I'm excited to get the word out now. A focus on IQ + EI = A New Generation of Students Ready for the Challenges of the 21st Century.

I teach a class that is about 13 weeks in length or so and I receive new students every class. The material and information that is in this book assisted me with my research of which I was also able to incorporate within my curriculum. The book arrived quick and was packaged well. Thank you for offering this book on Amazon, I really appreciate it. Thanks!!

This belongs in your library.

ByR. Shelleyon September 19, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

EQ is a subject I have researched in college and also taught at work. This book has provided a lot of grist for the mill. However, I warn anyone who plans to buy copies from editions put out before 2000 thinking that the info will be 100% accurate. I only say that because Goleman buys into neuroscientist Paul MacClean's theory of the reptilian brain. While the concept is not far off, it is not accurate according to the latest research done on the subject. Still, the read is immensely interesting and should be regarded as a subject of psychological import.

Updated material

Bykubryanon May 7, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

If you own the older version of this book, keep it and get this one from the library. The concepts are very much the same as the old book and there are a few new insights buy and large it is the same book. A lot of the initial research that was put into the older version of this book, now have long term data and validation studies to include in this text, which are very good things to have (if you are nerdy about that stuff like myself) but conceptually, I didn't see a lot of changes.

If you are someone who just really needs the newest references and materials, then buy and enjoy. But if all you want this book for is to understand the conceptual information and you have the old book, keep it. Not much has changed.

Excellent and the one of the most important books I ever read! It helped me understand myself and others better than ever!

ByMarie33klon February 2, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I highly recommend reading this book. It will help you understand yourself and everyone around you, and why you and they behave the way you/they do. It's amazing and explains not only the scientific background, information about the brain, but then, how that translates into thinking and behaviors. Emotional Intelligence truly is the most important and it is what creates a safe, happy relationship, family, home-life, community, workplace etc., versus the opposite! This is important for you, your family/children, co-workers/bosses, etc. Everyone should read this book!
