Description

Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman explores how the ability to understand and manage emotions—known as emotional intelligence or EQ—plays a critical role in personal and professional success, often surpassing the importance of IQ. Goleman breaks EQ into five core areas: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, arguing that these emotional competencies shape how we handle relationships, make decisions, and perform under pressure. Drawing from psychology and neuroscience, the book shows that emotional intelligence can be developed and is essential for effective leadership, mental well-being, and fulfilling relationships.
