Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships

In richly anecdotal detail, Goleman brings to life the entirely new field of social neuroscience that has emerged in the decade since the publication of Emotional Intelligence. He shows that, far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies. Our relationships create a setpoint for our daily moods and influence our immune response; they are crucial to achievement in students and workers; they determine whether or not some genes are expressed, for good or ill. Above all, Goleman explores the foundations of rapport, love, cooperation, and altruism, with major implications for the well-being of our families, communities, and workplace. Whether you listen to this as a lover or parent, medical professional or businessperson, teacher or community leader, you will never see your relationships in the same way again. A New York Times bestseller.

Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

In this fascinating book, based on brain and behavioral research, Daniel Goleman argues that our IQ-idolizing view of intelligence is far too narrow. Instead, Goleman makes the case for "emotional intelligence" being the strongest indicator of human success. He defines emotional intelligence in terms of self-awareness, altruism, personal motivation, empathy, and the ability to love and be loved by friends, partners, and family members. Because emotional intelligence isn't fixed at birth, Goleman outlines how adults as well as parents of young children can sow the seeds.

Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead with Emotional Intelligence

Daniel Goleman teams with Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee to explore the role of emotional intelligence in leadership in the March 2002 release, Primal Leadership: Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence. Unveiling neuroscientific links between organizational success or failure and ?primal leadership,? the authors argue that a leader?s emotions are contagious. If a leader resonates energy and enthusiasm, an organization thrives; if a leader spreads negativity and dissonance, it flounders. This breakthrough concept charges leaders with driving emotions in the right direction to have a positive impact on earnings or strategy.

Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything

The bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence and Primal Leadership, Daniel Goleman reveals the hidden environmental consequences of what we make and buy, and shows how new market forces can drive the essential changes we all must make to save our planet.

We recycle bottles, but drive miles in gas-guzzling cars to shop. We take bags to the grocery store, but buy fruits shipped from South America. In Ecological Intelligence Daniel Goleman reveals why “green is a mirage” and illuminates the wild inconsistencies in our response to the ecological crisis.

Drawing on cutting-edge research, Goleman explains why we as shoppers have found it impossible to know the harmful environmental and health consequences of our purchases. Collectively, he says, we are in denial over the hidden impacts of the goods and services we make and consume. The problem is exacerbated by a blackout of information about the detrimental effects of producing, shipping, packaging, distributing, and discarding the goods we buy.

A new generation of technologies informing us of the ecological facts about products will make this vital information available to consumers where it matters most—at the point of purchase. The balance of power, Goleman argues, will shift from seller to buyer. This “radical transparency” will allow consumers to make smarter purchasing decisions, and will drive companies to rethink and reform their business practices.

Transparency: How Leaders Create a Culture of Candor

By Daniel Goleman, Warren Bennis, James O'Toole, Patricia Ward Biederman

"After watching so many American presidents derailed by a culture of secrecy—Richard Nixon and George W. Bush are only the most recent—one might imagine that transparency would become the watchword of leaders everywhere. Alas, it has not: witness Enron and subprime mortgages. Here in these pages, with arguments that are enormously compelling, Warren Bennis, Daniel Goleman, and James O'Toole urge leaders of every stripe to create 'a culture of candor' around them. Please give this book to anyone heading toward the front office, especially if it is oval."

Vital Lies, Simple Truths: The Psychology of Self-Deception

Vital Lies, Simple Truths is a penetrating analysis of the ways we deceive ourselves. Daniel Goleman draws on evidence of all kinds - from brain function to social dynamics - to reveal how we skew our most intimate relationships, our day-to-day lives and our common reality by burying painful insights and memories. This self-deception is our means of psychic self- preservation, and although self-deception is sometimes benign, it can also be dangerous and life-diminishing.
