This fascinating and persuasive book shows how our view of human intelligence is too narrow, ignoring a crucial range of abilities that determine how we succeed in life. Goleman suggests that `emotional intelligence’ is the key to achieving our goals and living our dreams. By pinpointing these characteristics (self awareness, persistence, self-motivation, empathy and social deftness), Goleman shows how we can develop a blueprint for an outstanding life.
