“I’ve pulled together more than two decade’s worth of my writings that best illustrate EI’s positive impact on personal and organizational excellence,” Goleman says. “Consider the book your toolbox. Each chapter is a unique and useful device that helps leaders, coaches, human resources officers, managers, and educators to effectively guide and motivate others.”

Daniel Goleman was ranked one of the top ten business intellectuals by the Accenture Institute for Strategic Change, and The Wall Street Journal included him in its top-10 influential business thinkers in 2008. Dr. Goleman's article in the Harvard Business Review, "What Makes a Leader?" received the highest reader ratings ever, becoming the Review's best-selling reprint.

Dr. Goleman covered the brain and behavioral sciences at the New York Times for twelve years. He is co-founder of the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning, and co-directs the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations. His books include Emotional Intelligence, Primal Leadership, Destructive Emotions, and Social Intelligence, Ecological Intelligence, and The Brain and Emotional Intelligence: New Insights.
