Aus dem Klappentext

The Groundbreaking Book that redifines intelligence and success.

Is IQ destiny? Not nearly as much as we think. Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play a far greater role in thought, decision making and individual success than is commonly acknowledged.

Emotional intelligence includes self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal and motivation, empathy and social deftness. These are the 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 strenghtened in all of us. And because emotional lessons a child learns actually sculpt the brains circuitry, Goleman provides detailed guidance as to how parents and schools can benefit from this.
