"Emotional Intelligence" (book)

"Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman refers to the ability to understand, manage, and express one’s own emotions effectively, while also recognizing and influencing the emotions of others. It involves skills such as empathy, self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, and social skills. These competencies help individuals navigate relationships better, handle stress, and make thoughtful decisions. The book emphasizes that emotional intelligence is as important as cognitive intelligence for personal and professional success, highlighting how understanding emotions can enhance communication, leadership, and overall well-being.
