Emotional Intelligence
Understanding the emotions, learning how to deal with destructive emotions and developing strategies for developing our good qualities and improving our relationships with others, has become an acknowledged essential skill to living. Daniel Goleman popularly invented the term and it has become a universally accepted way of describing the inner management of our emotional landscapes. In his book “Emotional Intelligence” he says, “What can we change that will help our children fare better in life? What factors are at play, for example, when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well? I would argue that the difference quite often lies in the abilities called here emotional intelligence, which include self-control, zeal and persistence, and the ability to motivate oneself. And these skills, as we shall see, can be taught to children.” Now being widely taught in schools within Social and Emotional Resilience in Education, E.I. is a powerful self knowledge mind manual applicable to all ages.
“Give me that man
That is not passion’s slave, and I will wear him
In my heart’s core, aye, in my heart of hearts
As I do thee…”
William Shakespeare – Hamlet
