Books by Daniel Goleman

“Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence” offers a transformative perspective on leadership in the modern world. In this seminal work, Goleman redefines leadership excellence by emphasizing the critical role of emotional intelligence in guiding effective leadership practices. As the world evolves rapidly, traditional leadership paradigms no longer suffice. Goleman argues that leadership success hinges on understanding and mastering emotions, both in oneself and others. The book underscores that emotional intelligence is far more important than conventional technical skills or strategic acumen in fostering effective leadership.

Daniel Goleman’s “Emotional Intelligence” summarizes research from a decade of studies and shows us why emotional intelligence (EI) is just as important for a successful life as our IQ. Contrary to the academic knowledge measured by the IQ, EI is multifaceted and has an impact on our work performance, our relationships, and our health. Goleman argues for a shift in educational focus: he makes the case for educating our children in the art of emotional intelligence, to prevent the rise of mental health issues and crime rates.

Have you ever struggled to concentrate on a task? Does your mind keep wandering off? Or do you let emotional events in your life distract you easily from what you’re supposed to be doing? “Focus” by Daniel Goleman explains why we struggle to concentrate, and the benefits of having more focus in our lives. Not only will you be more productive when you are able to focus your attention, but the improved focus is the way to achieve excellence. It also maintains successful relationships and helps solve and prevent global problems such as climate change and pandemics.
