Daniel Goleman

Daniel Goleman is a psychologist and author best known for popularizing the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) in the 1990s. He argues that EI, which includes skills like self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and social skills, is just as important, if not more so, than traditional intelligence (IQ) in achieving success in life and work. Goleman’s work emphasizes the role of emotions in personal and professional relationships, and he has written extensively about how cultivating emotional intelligence can lead to better communication, teamwork, and leadership. His ideas have influenced fields such as education, business, and psychology.
