A 25th anniversary edition of the number one, multi-million copy international bestseller that taught us how emotional intelligence is more important than IQ - 'a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea' (Harvard Business Review) Featuring a new introduction from the author Does IQ define our destiny? In his groundbreaking bestseller, Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow. It is not our IQ, but our emotional intelligence that plays a major role in thought, decision-making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness: all are qualities that mark people who excel, whose relationships flourish, who can navigate difficult conversations, who become 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.

This book is designed to meet the growing need among researchers, graduate students, and professionals to look into the existing theoretical models as well as developing theories related to emotional intelligence. The primary aim of the book is to help readers get a view of current conceptualisations of emotional intelligence, while providing an opportunity to see how emotional intelligence has been interpreted and applied throughout the world. Psychological processes are expected to vary according to cultural meaning and practices. Recent studies indicate that emotional intelligence influences behaviour in a wide range of domains including school, community, and the workplace. At the individual level, it has been said to relate to academic achievement, work performance, our ability to communicate effectively, solve everyday problems, build meaningful interpersonal relationships, and even our ability to make moral decisions. Given that emotional intelligence has the potential to increase our understanding of ho
Since the release of the very successful first edition in 2001, the field of emotional intelligence has grown in sophistication and importance. Many new and talented researchers have come into the field and techniques in EI measurement have dramatically increased so that we now know much more about the distinctiveness and utility of the different EI measures. There has also been a dramatic upswing in research that looks at how to teach EI in schools, organizations, and families. In this second edition, leaders in the field present the most up-to-date research on the assessment and use of the emotional intelligence construct. Importantly, this edition expands on the previous by providing greater coverage of emotional intelligence interventions. As with the first edition, this second edition is both scientifically rigorous, yet highly readable and accessible to a non-specialist audience. It will therefore be of value to researchers and practitioners in many disciplines beyond social psychology, including areas of basic research, cognition and emotion, organizational selection, organizational training, education, clinical psychology, and development psychology.
"...success at work is 80% dependent on emotional intelligence and only 20% dependent on IQ," HR magazine, November 1997. If we are aware of emotions, there is the question of managing them. This needs some elaboration. We do not generally control all our emotions consciously, but we are often required to control certain emotions on certain occasions. This control of behaviour is inculcated in us while we grow up in a community. Hence, as cultured and civilized beings, we do learn to control some emotions on some occasions. However, this is part of being shaped by the society or community. We do not make conscious efforts to control extreme joy or extreme grief deliberately. The book talks practical aspects of how Emotions can be managed well.

Emotional Intelligence Does IQ define our destiny?

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.

The fact that a successful professional life and a stable and healthy personal life is not only dependent on intelligence is well established. While there are many contributing factors, Emotional Intelligence plays a major role. People with high Emotional Quotient can understand and manage others’ and their emotions better. They are more adaptable and empathetic. Emotionally intelligent smart leaders interact better with their subordinates and are better decision-makers. Mindfulness and focus can take one’s career to a different level. Daniel Goleman, who popularized the concept of EI has rightly said, “ As much as 80% of adult “success” comes from EQ.”EI affects the health of people. Even doctors agree on the healing powers of the human mind. EI is not something that is woven in the genes but can be improved by practice. Introducing children to emotional learning helps them in their studies and in developing a positive outlook.
