Daniel Goleman
Reducing the economic gap may be impossible without also addressing the gap in empathy.
Daniel Goleman

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
Once shoppers become empowered, we will facilitate industries thinking in completely new terms for example, making products that are totally biodegradable.
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.
