The term «emotional intelligence», without which it is difficult to imagine modern practical psychology, has become so popular thanks to the psychologist and journalist Daniel Goleman.
His book, first published in the US 13 years ago, has been translated into dozens of languages and has a circulation of several million copies. It summarizes, for the first time, scientific research on our ability to manage our own emotions and understand the emotional manifestations of others. Daniel Goleman talks about how emotional intelligence is formed, what brain structures are involved in the emotional sphere. Written by a New York Times columnist, this book is not only a fascinating non-fiction read that analyzes many recognizable situations, but also a valuable practical guide for those who want to make their own lives and the lives of their children more joyful.
