Emotional Intelligence - Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

Bantam Hardcover with 352 pages - Is IQ destiny? Not nearly as much as we think. This persuasive book argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, ignoring a crucial range of abilities that matter immensely in terms of how we do in life. Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows how the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. Hence the words, "emotional intelligence." But the news is hopeful. Emotional intelligence is not fixed at birth.
