Overview

Emotional Intelligence (published in 1995, last updated in 2005) by Daniel Goleman is a seminal work about how people recognize, navigate, and manage emotions in themselves and others. Those who can successfully read human moods, including their own, have a high degree of emotional intelligence. Those who find it difficult to process their own feelings, and are unskilled in engaging with the feelings of others, have a low degree of emotional intelligence. However, people who lack emotional intelligence can develop it over time.

Since the late twentieth century, scientific innovations such as brain imaging have triggered a surge of interest in the intersection of emotion and neurobiology. Researchers now recognize that the brain and the immune system are closely intertwined, that chronic stress can damage the human body, and that emotions are strongly linked to medical conditions like heart disease.
