About this audiobook
Since the latter part of the twentieth century, breakthroughs in science, like advancements in brain imaging, have sparked a growing fascination with the intersection of emotions and neurobiology. Researchers have come to acknowledge the close connection between the brain and the immune system, the detrimental impact of chronic stress on the human body, and the significant correlation between emotions and health issues such as heart disease.
Before this scientific awakening, there was an undue emphasis on academic intelligence by researchers. This bias ignored the reality that intelligence is not a reliable predictor of success and happiness. Instead, emotional intelligence emerges as a more accurate indicator of life trajectory. It encompasses psychological resilience, the ability to persevere in the face of challenges, impulse control, and social skills like empathy.
Contrary to earlier beliefs that emotional intelligence was an inherent trait, recent research has revealed it to be a capacity rather than an absolute characteristic. Nevertheless, the formative stage for emotional intelligence is primarily in early childhood. A baby receiving nurturing care is more likely to develop a positive outlook, while a neglected baby may struggle with challenges later in life. Although tendencies toward optimism or pessimism take root early, they can still evolve later on, influenced by one's social network, as emotions tend to be contagious.
It's crucial to recognize that complete control over emotions is not feasible. Emotions are a result of the brain processing external feedback and are not consciously regulated. However, individuals can control how they respond to their emotions. The initial step in effective emotional management is being aware of one's emotions, forming the foundation for emotional intelligence.
