More quotes by 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
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
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
One aspect of a successful relationship is not just how compatible you are, but how you deal with your incompatibility.
Daniel Goleman
Overloading attention shrinks mental control. Life immersed in digital distractions creates a near constant cognitive overload. And that overload wears out self-control.
Daniel Goleman
The near cousin of optimism is hope: knowing the steps needed to get to a goal and having the energy to pursue those steps. It is a primal motivating force, and its absence is paralyzing.
Daniel Goleman
Our passions, when well exercised, have wisdom they guide our thinking, our values, our survival.
Daniel Goleman
There is perhaps no psychological skill more fundamental than resisting impulse. It is the root of all emotional self-control, since all emotions, by their very nature, lead to one or another impulse to act. The root meaning of the word emotion, remember, is to move.
Daniel Goleman
When I went on to write my next book, Working With Emotional Intelligence, I wanted to make a business case that the best performers were those people strong in these skills.
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
The social brain is in its natural habitat when we're talking with someone face-to-face in real time.
Daniel Goleman
The more socially intelligent you are, the happier and more robust and more enjoyable your relationships will be.
Daniel Goleman
Doggedness depends on emotional traits - enthusiasm and persistence in the face of setbacks - above all else.
Daniel Goleman
Scheduling down time as part of your routine is hard but worth it, personally, even professionally.
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
Like secondhand smoke, the leakage of emotions can make a bystander an innocent casualty of someone else's toxic state.
Daniel Goleman
Simply paying attention allows us to build an emotional connection. Lacking attention, empathy hasn't a chance.
Daniel Goleman
Daydreaming incubates creative discovery.
Daniel Goleman
Every morning, I go off to a small studio behind my house to write. I try to ignore all email and phone calls until lunchtime. Then I launch into the sometimes frantic busy-ness of a tightly scheduled day.
Daniel Goleman
Emotional self-control is NOT the same as overcontrol, the stifling of all feeling and spontaneity....when such emotional suppression is chronic, it can impair thinking, hamper intellectual performance and interfere with smooth social interaction. By contrast, emotional competence implies we have a choice as to how we express our feelings.
