Daniel Goleman argues that understanding and managing our emotions are crucial for success in all aspects of life. Daniel Goleman''s emotional intelligence theory outlines five components of EI: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.

In Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman explores an emerging new science with startling implications for our interpersonal world. Its most fundamental discovery: we are designed for sociability, constantly engaged in a “neural ballet” that connects us brain to brain with those around us. Put simply, this is what Social Intelligence analyzes: the difference between the type of intelligence that makes us good at math and the type that enables us to work a room. It also examines why everyone needs social intelligence to successfully move through the world and what we can do to improve our understanding of social and emotional cues.
