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.
