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
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.
Daniel Goleman
Positive work environments outperform negative work environments.
Daniel Goleman
We should spend less time ranking children and more time helping them to identify their natural competencies and gifts, and cultivate those.
Daniel Goleman
Emotional self-awareness is the building block of the next fundamental emotional intelligence: being able to shake off a bad mood.
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
Motivation aside, if people get better at these life skills, everyone benefits: The brain doesn't distinguish between being a more empathic manager and a more empathic father.
