What is Emotional Intelligence about?
Emotional Intelligence (1995) argues that the ability to understand and manage emotions can matter as much as, or more than, traditional intelligence for success in life. Daniel Goleman explains the five elements of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. He shows how these skills affect work, relationships, health, and learning, and how they can be developed at any age.
