About this listen

This program features a new introduction read by Daniel Goleman and a bonus dialogue between the author and Jon Kabat-Zinn.

It is the tenth anniversary since the first publication of Daniel Goleman's groundbreaking bestseller, Emotional Intelligence which maps the territory where IQ meets EQ, where we apply what we know to how we live. Spending over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, Emotional Intelligence provided the evidence for what many successful people already knew: being smart isn't just a matter of mastering facts; it's a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you.

Critic reviews

“Impressive in its scope and depth, staggering in its implications, Emotional Intelligence gives us an entirely new way of looking at the root causes of many of the ills of our families and our society.” —Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., author of Wherever You Go, There You Are

Thank you Daniel and other beings for such an important insight into our emotions. This book will change my life.

I really loved it.

For such interesting content - it is a shame the person reading it feels the need to emulate a robot. Occasionally there are sound glitches where it sounds like the tape is getting tangled - not sure what caused that but it happens a couple of times.

Very enjoyable and a great insight into the topic. Very well, too. Highly recommended for everyone for self help, for teachers, managers and parents.

A must read!

The head and the heart
Rational and irrational
I can’t highlight enough how essential this book is to a guy who lives in his head like me. I would impute that those who live in their hearts will find this book immensely valuable too. For those who are lucky enough to balance to two sides well here is a chance to see what you are doing so well and I’m sure get even better at it. I feel much more empowered to be a better father, husband and individual.

Indispensable
