In this influential book, psychologist Daniel Goleman argues that success in life depends on more than intellectual ability alone. He introduces the concept of emotional intelligence (EQ), which includes self-awareness, emotional self-control, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Drawing on research from psychology, neuroscience, and education, Goleman demonstrates how these abilities affect relationships, academic performance, leadership, and mental well-being. He also explains how emotional intelligence can be developed throughout life, helping individuals achieve greater personal and professional success.
