Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, this book argues that a view of intelligence based on IQ is far too narrow, and instead makes the case for "emotional intelligence" being the strongest indicator of human success. Emotional intelligence is defined in terms of learned self-awareness, altruism, personal motivation, empathy, and the ability to love and be loved. People who possess high emotional intelligence succeed in careers and personal relationships. An outline of how parents, educators, and adults seeking self-improvement can cultivate emotional intelligence is included.
