Title: Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ
Author: Daniel Goleman
Category: Non-fiction, Self-help
Summary: Science journalist Daniel Goleman upends traditional notions of intelligence by arguing that human success, leadership, and emotional well-being depend far more on emotional intelligence (EQ) than on standard cognitive IQ. Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman outlines the five key components of EQ—self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The book demonstrates how these emotional competencies shape our relationships, professional lives, and physical health, while offering practical strategies for cultivating them.
