Emotional Quotient: Why EQ Is More Important Than IQ

Is IQ destiny? In fact, IQ is not as important as we think. The book "Emotional Intelligence" not only breaks the long-standing innate determinism of IQ, but also provides a key explanation for the long-discussed issue of "emotional intelligence" in psychology. Daniel Goleman believes that our understanding of human intelligence is severely limited by not taking into account a series of key abilities that have a significant impact on human behavior. In the more than ten years since "Emotional Intelligence" was published, the term "emotional intelligence" has now become people's daily language. The authors draw on groundbreaking research in brain and behavioral science to illustrate the factors that influence people with high IQs to underperform and those with average IQs to do well. These factors include self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, which are not innate but can create new pathways for us. Emotional intelligence is formed in our childhood but can be nurtured and strengthened in adulthood – with direct benefits to our health, relationships and work. Emotional intelligence is a basic survival ability that determines the performance of your other mental abilities, as well as the direction and achievements of your life. "Emotional Intelligence" (10th Anniversary Edition) reflects the latest research progress and the author's thinking and understanding. At the same time, the author also provides answers to the main questions he encountered during his lectures around the world. Emotional intelligence research is a rapidly developing field, and the new appendix also provides readers with reference materials in the field of emotional intelligence.
