Why Emotional Intelligence Matters More Than IQ

Daniel Goleman’s book, Emotional Intelligence, made a splash. This work by a psychology expert, one of the creators of the term “emotional intelligence,” isn’t just about what emotions are and how to manage them. In your hands is a scientific study of our second intelligence, the emotional intelligence.





Our emotional intelligence is as much a member of the thought process as the rational brain. In order to effectively use your potential, you need to know that emotions are just as important in decision-making as rational arguments.

The more ways a person knows how to respond to emotion, the better he is able to cope with his life. Knowledge of your own emotions and feelings is not only useful, they are vital for everyone who is ready to take responsibility for their lives and skillfully manage it.

The purpose of the journey that the author proposes is to bring the mind to emotions and teach how to do it. It is not about emotionality, but about the appropriateness of emotions.

  • The book helps not only to know ourselves, our emotions, to learn where our most destructive feelings originate, but also to use this knowledge in relationships.
  • Emotional intelligence is a variable quantity. We can really control our emotions, reconfigure ourselves in a more positive and constructive way. This book gives you an idea of how to do it!
  • The ability to handle emotions will also help in the upbringing of children, who are often more emotional than adults. Parents can help children understand and control their emotions.


P.S. And remember, just by changing your consciousness – together we change the world!
