Download Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ AudioBook Free
Is IQ destiny? Not almost just as much as we think. This fascinating and persuasive program argues our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, ignoring an essential range of talents that matter immensely in terms of how exactly we do in life.
Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Daniel Goleman shows the factors at the job when folks of high IQ flounder and the ones of modest IQ do well. These factors add up to a different way to be smart -- one he terms "emotional intelligence."
