Psychologist Daniel Goleman shot to fame with his groundbreaking bestseller Emotional Intelligence.
The premise of the book, now widely accepted, is
that raw intelligence alone is not a sure predictor of success in life.
A greater role is played by 'softer' skills such as self-control,
self-motivation, empathy and good interpersonal relationships.
Now Goleman comes to Intelligence Squared for an exclusive talk on the themes of his latest book, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence.
Now Goleman comes to Intelligence Squared for an exclusive talk on the themes of his latest book, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence.
Attention, he will argue, is an underrated asset for high achievers in
any field.
Incorporating findings from neuroscience, Goleman will show
why we need three kinds of focus: inner, for self-awareness; other, for
the empathy that builds effective relationships; and outer, for
understanding the larger systems in which organizations operate.
Those
who excel rely on Smart Practices such as mindfulness meditation,
focused preparation and positive emotions that help improve habits, add
new skills, and sustain excellence.

Biography
Goleman was born in 1946 in Stockton, California, the son of Jewish college professors.He received a scholarship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to attend Amherst College.
The Amherst Independent Scholar program allowed him to transfer for his junior year to the University of California at Berkeley.
He then returned to Amherst where he graduated magna cum laude.
He then received a scholarship from the Ford Foundation to attend Harvard University where he received his PhD studying under David C. McClelland.
He studied in India using a pre-doctoral fellowship from Harvard and a post-doctoral grant from the Social Science Research Council.
He wrote his first book based on travel in India and Sri Lanka and then returned as a visiting lecturer to Harvard where during the 1970s his topic of the psychology of consciousness was popular.
McClelland recommended him for a job at Psychology Today from which he was recruited by The New York Times in 1984.[2]
Goleman co-founded the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning at Yale University's Child Studies Center which then moved to the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Career
Research
Goleman authored the internationally best-selling book, Emotional Intelligence (1995, Bantam Books), that spent more than one-and-a-half years on The New York Times Best Seller list.Goleman developed the argument that non-cognitive skills can matter as much as I.Q. for workplace success in Working with Emotional Intelligence (1998, Bantam Books), and for leadership effectiveness in Primal Leadership (2001, Harvard Business School Press).
Goleman's most recent best-seller is Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships (2006, Bantam Books).
He developed The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal test, specifically The Emotional Competencies (Goleman) model.
In his first book, The Varieties of Meditative Experience (1977), republished as The Meditative Mind in 1988, Goleman used sequential chapters to describe almost a dozen different meditation systems.
He wrote that "the need for the mediator to retrain his attention, whether through concentration or mindfulness, is the single invariant ingredient in the recipe for altering consciousness of every meditation system".[3]

Goleman has published a series of dialogues with More Than Sound entitled "Wired to Connect" on the applications of social intelligence.Those already published include:
- Psychiatrist Daniel J. Siegel
- Renowned brain researcher Richard Davidson

- Film director and Educational innovator George Lucas
- World-renown psychologist on emotions Paul Ekman
