It is the tenth anniversary since the first publication of Daniel Goleman's groundbreaking bestseller, Emotional Intelligence, which maps the territory where IQ meets EQ, where we apply what we know to how we live. Spending over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, Emotional Intelligence provided the evidence for what many successful people already knew: being smart isn't just a matter of mastering facts; it's a matter of mastering your own emotions and understanding the emotions of the people around you.

Head and heart. Maybe you read the recent article about companies that are now testing applicants for their emotional intelligence as well as their skills. Listen to what started this practice: Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. Also, in unabridged. See more from Goleman.

For you to influence others, you have to take charge of your own body language so that you exude the kind of body language that speaks to people’s subconscious mind, which ultimately influences them to take whatever action you want to take. You must also blend that with reading other people’s body language (even when they are not aware of their own body language cues) so as to take appropriate action to your advantage!
