More quotes by Daniel Goleman
Remember, empathy need not lead to sympathetically giving in to the other side’s demands—knowing how someone feels does not mean agreeing with them.
Daniel Goleman
What really matters for success, character, happiness and life long achievements is a definite set of emotional skills - your EQ - not just purely cognitive abilities that are measured by conventional IQ tests.
Daniel Goleman
Doggedness depends on emotional traits - enthusiasm and persistence in the face of setbacks - above all else.
Daniel Goleman
Companies in the East put a lot more emphasis on human relationships, while those from the West focus on the product, the bottom line. Westerners appear to have more of a need for achievement, while in the East there's more need for affiliation.
Daniel Goleman
Western business people often don't get the importance of establishing human relationships.
Daniel Goleman
Evolutionary theory holds that our ability to sense when we should be suspicious has been every bit as essential for human survival as our capacity for trust and cooperation.
Daniel Goleman
Once shoppers become empowered, we will facilitate industries thinking in completely new terms for example, making products that are totally biodegradable.
Daniel Goleman
Like secondhand smoke, the leakage of emotions can make a bystander an innocent casualty of someone else's toxic state.
Daniel Goleman
People learn what they want to learn. If learning is forced on us, even if we master it temporarily, it is soon forgotten.
Daniel Goleman
Although traditional incentives such as bonuses or recognition can prod people to better performance, no external motivators can get people to perform at their absolute best. . . .Wherever people gravitate within their work roles, indicates where their real pleasure lies—and that pleasure is itself motivating.
Daniel Goleman
Leaders with empathy do more than sympathize with people around them: they use their knowledge to improve their companies in subtle, but important ways.
Daniel Goleman
Even though a high IQ is no guarantee of prosperity, prestige, or happiness in life, our schools and our culture fixate on academic abilities, ignoring the emotional intelligence that also matters immensely for our personal destiny.
Daniel Goleman
One of the leading theories of why electroconvulsive therapy is effective for most severe depressions is that it causes a loss of short-term memory - patients feel better because they can't remember why they were sad.
Daniel Goleman
But there has also been a notable increase in recent years of these applications by a much wider slice of psychotherapists - far greater interest than ever before.
Daniel Goleman
Whenever we feel stressed out, that's a signal that our brain is pumping out stress hormones. If sustained over months and years, those hormones can ruin our health and make us a nervous wreck.
Daniel Goleman
A prerequisite to empathy is simply paying attention to the person in pain.
Daniel Goleman
The human brain is by no means fully formed at birth. It continues to shape itself through life, with the most intense growth occurring during childhood.
Daniel Goleman
Brain studies of mental workouts in which you sustain a single, chosen focus show that the more you detach from what's distracting you and refocus on what you should be paying attention to, the stronger this brain circuitry becomes.
Daniel Goleman
Simply paying attention allows us to build an emotional connection. Lacking attention, empathy hasn't a chance.
Daniel Goleman
One way to boost our will power and focus is to manage our distractions instead of letting them manage us.
