He writes in the English language and holds United States citizenship. That combination of roles — spanning the scientific and the journalistic — has shaped how he has engaged with his subjects across his professional life.

Quotes by Daniel Goleman
Daniel Goleman's insights on:
School success is not predicted by a child’s fund of facts or a precocious ability to read as much as by emotional and social measures.
I think the smartest thing for people to do to manage very distressing emotions is to take a medication if it helps, but don't do only that. You also need to train your mind.
There is zero correlation between IQ and emotional empathy.They're controlled by different parts of the brain.
Emotional intelligence does not mean merely being nice. At strategic moment it may demand not being nice, but rather, for example, bluntly confronting someone with an uncomfortable but consequential truth they've been avoiding.
Resonant leaders know when to be collaborative and when to be visionary, when to listen and when to command.
A visionary leader can impact the process positively by honoring the feelings and beliefs of the people around him, while steadfastly demonstrating teh benefit of moving toward the dream.
Even though a high IQ is no guarantee of prosperity, prestige, or happiness in life, our schools and our culture fixate on academic abilities, ignoring the emotional intelligence that also matters immensely for our personal destiny.
Visionary leaders stare a mission, set standards, and let people know whether their work is furthering the group goals.
