Clinical psychologist Dr. Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, based on his best-selling book, focuses on emotion as a better measure of intelligence, redefining what it means to be "smart." Goleman argues that strong interpersonal skills not just IQ shape destiny by improving health, professional prospects, and family life. Individuals can strengthen their relationship with themselves and other by developing a better EQ (Emotional Quotient).

Is IQ destiny? Not nearly as much as we think. This fascinating and persuasive program 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, Daniel Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do well. These factors add up to a different way of being smart—"emotional intelligence." This includes self-awareness, managing emotions effectively, empathy and social skill.

These are the qualities that mark people who excel in life. But the news is hopeful. Emotional intelligence is not fixed at birth, and Goleman shows how its vital qualities can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. The message of this eye-opening program is one we must take to heart: true meritocracy must measure emotional intelligence.
