Emotional Intelligence - Why It's More Important Than IQ

Is intelligence, measured by 'IQ', an immutable factor that determines people's success in school and business? If so, why are children with high IQs less successful in life than their peers with average IQs?
In this groundbreaking book in the field of psychology, Dr. Daniel Goleman proves that 'EQ' is more important than 'IQ'. He defines 'emotional intelligence' as an intelligence that includes characteristics such as self-awareness, determination, restraining impulses, and sharing the feelings of others.
According to research findings, a lack of emotional intelligence can have very bad consequences in many areas, from a person's family life to their professional success, from their social relationships to their health. However, according to Dr. Goleman, emotional intelligence is not an innate characteristic. Due to the structure of the human brain, emotional lessons learned in childhood determine behavioral patterns throughout life. This book, which broadens everyone's horizons, especially educators and parents, also has a very important social message: The extent to which democracy benefits society is directly related to the emotional intelligence levels of individuals.
