Daniel Goleman
If you do a practice and train your attention to hover in the present, then you will build the internal capacity to do that as needed - at will and voluntarily.
Daniel Goleman
I don't think focus is in itself ever a bad thing. But focus of the wrong kind, or managed poorly, can be.
Daniel Goleman

Daniel Goleman
The social brain is in its natural habitat when we're talking with someone face-to-face in real time.
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
A leader tuned out of his internal world will be rudderless one blind to the world of others will be clueless those indifferent to the larger systems within which they operate will be blindsided.
Daniel Goleman
Emotional 'literacy' implies an expanded responsibility for schools in helping to socialize children. This daunting task requires two major changes: that teachers go beyond their traditional mission and that people in the community become more involved with schools as both active participants in children's learning and as individual mentors.
Daniel Goleman
Empathic, emotionally intelligent work environments have a good track record of increasing creativity, improving problem solving and raising productivity.
Daniel Goleman
