Daniel Goleman lectures frequently to business audiences, professional groups and on college campuses. A psychologist who for many years reported on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times, Dr. Goleman previously was a visiting faculty member at Harvard. Among Dr. Goleman’s more recent books are The Brain and Emotional Intelligence: New Insights and What Makes a Leader: Why Emotional Intelligence Matters (morethansound.net). In the first, he reviews recent findings from neuroscience and how they inform our understanding of emotional intelligence. In What Makes a Leader, he has collected together in a single volume his key work on the topic from his articles in the Harvard Business Review. His most recent book is A Force for Good: The Dalai Lama’s Vision for Our World (Penguin Random House; audio More Than Sound). His 1995 book Emotional Intelligence argued that human competencies like self-awareness, self-regulation, and empathy add value to cognitive abilities in many domains of life, from workplace effectiveness and leadership to health and relationships; children are better prepared for life when they are taught these emotional and social skills. Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times bestseller list for a year-and-a-half, has been a best seller throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America, and was translated into 40 languages.
