Después de los éxitos de Inteligencia emocional e Inteligencia social , Daniel Goleman introduce el revolucionario concepto de inteligencia ecológica: la comprensión de los impactos ecológicos ocultos y la determinación de mejorarlos. Independientemente de que seamos un simple consumidor, el jefe de compras de una empresa o un director de producto, el conocimiento del impacto ecológico de lo que adquirimos, fabricamos o vendemos es fundamental para tomar decisiones más acordes con nuestros valores y, así, influir positivamente en nuestro futuro y en el del planeta. Para los consumidores, la inteligencia ecológica es la llave que nos permite inclinar la balanza del mercado hacia ingredientes, tecnologías y diseños que respeten nuestros valores. Para las empresas, la inteligencia ecológica significa modificar los procesos industriales teniendo en cuenta sus consecuencias medioambientales. Para el empresario del siglo XXI el reto consiste en lograr la transparencia radical del producto. De esta manera, el mundo del comercio puede ir corrigiéndose, no sólo en nombre de la responsabilidad, sino también en el de su búsqueda del beneficio, desbloqueando al fin el viejo antagonismo entre los objetivos de la empresa y los del interés público. Inteligencia ecológic a aporta las claves necesarias para convertirnos en jugadores activos en determinar el curso del planeta, de nuestra salud y de nuestro destino común.

In Transparency, the authors–a powerhouse trio in the field of leadership–look at what conspires against "a culture of candor" in organizations to create disastrous results, and suggest ways that leaders can achieve healthy and honest openness. They explore the lightning-rod concept of "transparency"–which has fast become the buzzword not only in business and corporate settings but in government and the social sector as well. Together Bennis, Goleman, and O''Toole explore why the containment of truth is the dearest held value of far too many organizations and suggest practical ways that organizations, their leaders, their members, and their boards can achieve openness. After years of dedicating themselves to research and theory, at first separately, and now jointly, these three leadership giants reveal the multifaceted importance of candor and show what promotes transparency and what hinders it. They describe how leaders often stymie the flow of information and the structural impediments that keep information from getting where it needs to go. This vital resource is written for any organization–business, government, and nonprofit–that must achieve a culture of candor, truth, and transparency.

Tras el éxito fulgurante de Inteligencia emocional, un fenómeno editorial con más de 5 millones de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo, Daniel Goleman emprende ahora una revolucionaria síntesis de los últimos descubrimientos en biología y ciencias del cerebro. Inteligencia social revela que estamos “programados para conectar” con los demás y que nuestras relaciones tienen un impacto muy profundo en nuestras vidas. El trato diario con nuestros progenitores, parejas, jefes, amigos, e incluso extraños, conforma nuestro cerebro y afecta a todas las células de nuestro cuerpo hasta el nivel de los genes. El hallazgo fundamental que Goleman aporta, con su habitual amenidad y rigor, es que estamos diseñados para ser sociables, y que participamos constantemente en un “ballet neuronal” que nos conecta, de cerebro a cerebro, con quienes nos rodean. Las relaciones interpersonales poseen un impacto biológico de largo alcance porque afectan a las hormonas que regulan tanto nuestro corazón como nuestro sistema inmunológico, de modo que las buenas relaciones actúan como vitaminas, y las malas, como venenos. Goleman explica la sorprendente fiabilidad de nuestras primeras impresiones, explora el carisma, afronta la complejidad de la atracción sexual; describe también “el lado oscuro” de la inteligencia social, desde el narcisismo al maquiavelismo y la psicopatía. ¿Existe una manera de educar a nuestros hijos para que sean felices? ¿Cuál es la base de un matrimonio creativo? ¿Cómo pueden los empresarios y los maestros instruir a quienes les siguen? ¿Cómo lograr que grupos divididos por prejuicios y odios lleguen a vivir en paz? El autor comparte sus investigaciones con una gran convicción: los humanos tenemos una predisposición natural para la empatía, la cooperación y el altruismo. Lo único que necesitamos es desarrollar la inteligencia social.

Emotional Intelligence was an international phenomenon, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and selling more than five million copies worldwide. Now, once again, Daniel Goleman has written a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are “wired to connect” and the surprisingly deep impact of our relationships on every aspect of our lives. Far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies—down to the level of our genes—for good or ill. In Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman explores an emerging new science with startling implications for our interpersonal world. Its most fundamental discovery: we are designed for sociability, constantly engaged in a “neural ballet” that connects us brain to brain with those around us. Our reactions to others, and theirs to us, have a far-reaching biological impact, sending out cascades of hormones that regulate everything from our hearts to our immune systems, making good relationships act like vitamins—and bad relationships like poisons. We can “catch” other people’s emotions the way we catch a cold, and the consequences of isolation or relentless social stress can be life-shortening. Goleman explains the surprising accuracy of first impressions, the basis of charisma and emotional power, the complexity of sexual attraction, and how we detect lies. He describes the “dark side” of social intelligence, from narcissism to Machiavellianism and psychopathy. He also reveals our astonishing capacity for “mindsight,” as well as the tragedy of those, like autistic children, whose mindsight is impaired. Is there a way to raise our children to be happy? What is the basis of a nourishing marriage? How can business leaders and teachers inspire the best in those they lead and teach? How can groups divided by prejudice and hatred come to live together in peace? The answers to these questions may not be as elusive as we once thought. And Goleman delivers his most heartening news with powerful conviction: we humans have a built-in bias toward empathy, cooperation, and altruism–provided we develop the social intelligence to nurture these capacities in ourselves and others.

Neste livro, Goleman defende um novo modelo de inteligência baseado no emergente campo da neurociência social. Afirmando que a nossa interação social é capaz de moldar tanto nosso comportamento como o funcionamento do nosso organismo, o autor apresenta o conceito de Inteligência Social. Mostrando o poder da interação social na influência do humor e da química cerebral, o autor examina o quanto uma ofensa ou uma experiência social desagradável podem ser prejudiciais, e revela os efeitos positivos de substâncias neuroquímicas que são liberadas em situações que envolvem amor e cuidados. O livro apresenta-nos uma nova perspectiva sobre nossas relações sociais, mostrando que nossas mentes estão conectadas por valores como altruísmo, compaixão, preocupação e compreensão, e desenvolvemos a inteligência social para estimular essas ''habilidades'' em nós mesmos e nos outros.

#1 BESTSELLER • The groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be smart, with a new introduction by the author “A thoughtfully written, persuasive account explaining emotional intelligence and why it can be crucial.”—USA Today Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman''s brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our “two minds”—the rational and the emotional—and how they together shape our destiny. But why is emotional intelligence important? Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. These factors, which include self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, add up to a different way of being smart—and they aren’t fixed at birth. Although shaped by childhood experiences, emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened throughout our adulthood—with immediate benefits to our health, our relationships, and our work. The twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of Emotional Intelligence could not come at a better time—we spend so much of our time online, more and more jobs are becoming automated and digitized, and our children are picking up new technology faster than we ever imagined. With a new introduction from the author, the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition prepares readers, now more than ever, to reach their fullest potential and stand out from the pack with the help of EI.

Emotional Intelligence Does IQ define our destiny? Daniel Goleman argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, and that our emotions play a major role in thought, decision making and individual success. Self-awareness, impulse control, persistence, motivation, empathy and social deftness are all qualities that mark people who excel: whose relationships flourish, who are stars in the workplace. With new insights into the brain architecture underlying emotion and rationality, Goleman shows precisely how emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened in all of us. Working with Emotional Intelligence Do you want to be more successful at work? Do you want to improve your chances of promotion? Do you want to get on better with your colleagues? Daniel Goleman draws on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and the thorough research that is his trademark. He demonstrates that emotional intelligence at work matters twice as much as cognitive abilities such as IQ or technical expertise in this inspiring sequel.

Can the mind heal the body? The Buddhist tradition says yes—and now many Western scientists are beginning to agree. Healing Emotions is the record of an extraordinary series of encounters between the Dalai Lama and prominent Western psychologists, physicians, and meditation teachers that sheds new light on the mind-body connection. Topics include: compassion as medicine; the nature of consciousness; self-esteem; and the meeting points of mind, body, and spirit. This edition contains a new foreword by the editor.

La conception traditionnelle de l''intelligence néglige une part essentielle du comportement humain : les réactions émotionnelles. Le QI n''est pas le seul critère ; il existe une autre forme d''intelligence, l''intelligence émotionnelle, que l''on peut stimuler et développer dès l''enfance. Refuser d''écouter ses émotions peut entraîner une instabilité générale, alors que maîtrise de soi, motivation, respect d''autrui sont autant de qualités pour réussir. Daniel Goleman nous invite à accepter nos émotions, pour développer une nouvelle forme d''intelligence.

As business reinvents itself at broadband speed, what makes leaders effective has inevitably been transformed. Old assumptions and old modes no longer hold; a new style of leadership that works has emerged amidst the chaos of change. This new leader excels in the art of relationship, the singular expertise which the changing business climate renders indispensable. Excellence is being defined in interpersonal terms as companies have stripped out layers of managers, as corporations merge across national boundaries, and as customers and suppliers redefine the web of connection. Bestselling author Daniel Goleman argues that emotionally intelligent leaders are now ''must-haves'' for business today. But many readers have been left with, So now what do I do? The New Leaders answers that question by laying out the map for transforming leadership in individuals, in teams and organizations.

How does emotional intelligence as a competency go beyond the individual to become something a group or entire organization can build and utilize collectively? Written primarily by members of the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations, founded by recognized EI experts Daniel Goleman and Cary Cherniss, this groundbreaking compendium examines the conceptual and strategic issues involved in defining, measuring and promoting emotional intelligence in organizations. The book''s contributing authors share fifteen models that have been field-tested and empirically validated in existing organizations. They also detail twenty-two guidelines for promoting emotional intelligence and outline a variety of measurement strategies for assessing emotional and social competence in organizations.

Originally published in the Harvard Business Review between 1998 and 2001, these eight articles present the thinking of management professionals and academics on the successful qualities of top management in business organizations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

At the beginning of the twentieth century psychologists discovered ways and means to measure intelligence that developed into an obsession with IQ. In the mid 1990''s, Daniel Goleman popularised research into emotional intelligence, EQ, pointing out that EQ is a basic requirement for the appropriate use of IQ. In this century, there is enough collective evidence from psychology, neurology, anthropology and cognitive science to show us that there is a third ''Q'', ''SQ'' or Spiritual Intelligence. SQ is uniquely human and, the authors argue, the most fundamental intelligence. SQ is what we use to develop our longing and capacity for meaning, vision and value. It allows us to dream and to strive. It underlies the things we believe in, and the role our beliefs and values play in the actions that we take and the way we shape our lives.

Do you have what it takes to succeed in your career? The secret of success is not what they taught you in school. What matters most is not IQ, not a business school degree, not even technical know-how or years of expertise. The single most important factor in job performance and advancement is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is actually a set of skills that anyone can acquire, and in this practical guide, Daniel Goleman identifies them, explains their importance, and shows how they can be fostered. For leaders, emotional intelligence is almost 90 percent of what sets stars apart from the mediocre. As Goleman documents, it''s the essential ingredient for reaching and staying at the top in any field, even in high-tech careers. And organizations that learn to operate in emotionally intelligent ways are the companies that will remain vital and dynamic in the competitive marketplace of today—and the future. Comprehensively researched, crisply written, and packed with fascinating case histories of triumphs, disasters, and dramatic turnarounds, Working with Emotional Intelligence may be the most important business book you''ll ever read. Drawing on unparalleled access to business leaders around the world and studies in more than 500 organizations, Goleman documents an astonishing fact: in determining star performance in every field, emotional intelligence matters twice as much as IQ or technical expertise. Readers also discover how emotional competence can be learned. Goleman analyzes five key sets of skills and vividly shows how they determine who is hired and who is fired in the top corporations in the world. He also provides guidelines for training in the "emotionally intelligent organization," in chapters that no one, from manager to CEO, should miss. Working with Emotional Intelligence could prove to be the most important reference for bottom-line businesspeople in the first decades of the 21st century.

"This book offers a ground-breaking look at psychological and social forces that have kept men silent about what matters to them most. As The New York Times psychology columnist Daniel Goleman states in the Foreword, ''The roots...go back to the most primal relationships men have, as children, with their own fathers, and to the messages--both subtle and overt--they receive as they grow that tell them, in effect, that to seal the heart is to be a man. But although men have been silenced by the early events of their lives, they need not be bound by them. That, too, is a message of this book.'' "--Cover page [4].

A penetrating analysis of the dark corners of human deception, enlivened by intriguing case histories and experiments.
