About This Item
New York: Bantam Books, 1995. First edition of Goleman's classic work on the implications of emotional intelligence on society. Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half title page, "For James Daydreams incubate discovery D. Goleman." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Frank Ward. Author and science journalist Daniel Goleman reported on brain and behavoiral sciences for over twelve years for the New York Times. His 1995 book Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times Best Seller list for a year-and-a-half, a best-seller in many countries, and is in print worldwide in 40 languages. In this book, Goleman posits that emotional intelligence is as important as IQ for success, including in academic, professional, social, and interpersonal aspects of one's life. He goes on to argue that emotional intelligence is a skill that can be taught and cultivated, and outlines methods for incorporating emotional skills training in school curricula.
Synopsis
The groundbreaking bestseller that redefines intelligence and success Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play major role in thought, decision making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us.
