Description:
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. Emotional intelligence includes self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal and self-motivation, empathy and social deftness. The author shows these factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do suprprisingly well. However, emotional intelligence is not fixed at birth; drawing on brain and behavioral research, guidance is provided for increasing your emotional intelligence to avoid problems with your career and marriage, provide better parenting of your children, and increase your emotional and physical health.
