More quotes by Daniel Goleman
A prerequisite to empathy is simply paying attention to the person in pain.
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
People who are optimistic see a failure as due to something that can be changed so that they can succeed next time around, while pessimists take the blame for the failure, ascribing it to some characteristic they are helpless to change.
Daniel Goleman
Gifted leadership occurs when heart and head--feeling and thought--meet. These are the two winds that allow a leader to soar.
Daniel Goleman
Compassion begins with attention.
Daniel Goleman
One aspect of a successful relationship is not just how compatible you are, but how you deal with your incompatibility.
Daniel Goleman
Positive work environments outperform negative work environments.
Daniel Goleman
When I say manage emotions, I only mean the really distressing, incapacitating emotions. Feeling emotions is what makes life rich. You need your passions.
Daniel Goleman

Daniel Goleman
IQ and technical skills are important, but emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership.
Daniel Goleman
Once shoppers become empowered, we will facilitate industries thinking in completely new terms for example, making products that are totally biodegradable.

The book is a dialogue between The Dalai Lama and a group of scientists about how we can better handle our destructive emotions and how to overcome them.
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
Whoever has the mind to fight has broken his connection with the universe. If you try to dominate people you are already defeated. We study how to resolve conflict, not how to start it.
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
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
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
If you are doing mindfulness meditation, you are doing it with your ability to attend to the moment.
Daniel Goleman
What seems to set apart those at the very top of competitive pursuits from others of roughly equal ability is the degree to which, beginning early in life, they can pursue an arduous practice routine for years and years.
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
