A primit premiul Career Achievement (Premiul pentru Întreaga Carieră) din partea American Psychological Association (Asociaţia Americană de Psihologie). A colaborat cu numeroase publicaţii prestigioase, printre care The New York Times, People, Time, Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, Psychology Today, Publisher’s Weekly, Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, Observer, American Journal of Psychotherapy, Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology şi Journal of Applied Behavioral Science. Pentru articolele sale a fost nominalizat de două ori la Premiul Pulitzer. Dr. Goleman a publicat mai bine de 12 ani articole despre ştiinţele creierului şi științele comportamentale în The New York Times și a editat zeci de cărți de specialitate. Este cofondator al Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning şi codirector al Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations. RICHARD J. DAVIDSON (n. 12 decembrie 1951) este profesor de psihologie şi psihiatrie la Universitatea din Wisconsin Madison şi este fondatorul Center for Mind and Brain din cadrul Universităţii California Davis. A absolvit Universitatea Harvard, unde a obţinut titlul de doctor în psihologia personalității, psihopatologie şi psihofiziologie. În anul 2000, a primit premiul pentru întreaga activitate din partea Asociaţiei Americane de Psihologie. Şase ani mai târziu, a fost inclus de revista Time în Top 100 cei mai influenţi oameni din lume. Este autorul a numeroase articole de specialitate și a editat 13 cărţi. Volumul Creierul și inteligența emoțională, scris în colaborare cu Sharon Begley, s a numărat printre bestsellerurile New York Times. Când funcționează și când nu funcționează meditaţia? Ajută pe toată lumea? Sunt beneficiile sale diferite în funcție de exercițiile făcute? Aceste întrebări, dar și altele de același fel sunt cele care i-au determinat pe Daniel Goleman şi Richard Davidson să scrie cartea de faţă. Volumul prezintă călătoria spirituală şi profesională a celor doi autori, precum şi sfaturi practice atât pentru cei care vor să înceapă să mediteze, cât şi pentru cei care au încercat deja câteva exerciții sau sunt deja experţi. Pasionaţi de meditaţie şi admiratori ai lui Dalai Lama, DANIEL GOLEMAN şi RICHARD DAVIDSON sunt consideraţi doi titani ai jurnalismului ştiinţific şi ai cercetării în domeniul neuroştiinţelor. Cărţile lor, bazate pe experienţe personale şi pe o documentare minuţioasă, au fost traduse în lumea întreagă şi au ajuns pe lista de betselleruri New York Times. În volumul de faţă, cei doi autori şi-au propus să afle răspunsul la o întrebare aparent neobişnuită: Ce-ar fi dacă ne-am putea antrena mintea, așa cum ne antrenăm corpul? Prieteni încă din vremea studenţiei la Harvard, Daniel Goleman şi Richard Davidson şi-au unit eforturile pentru a întocmi un studiu riguros dedicat meditaţiei, precum şi beneficiilor pe care le aduce practicarea responsabilă şi constantă a acestui străvechi exerciţiu spiritual. Pornind de la experienţa personală în ashramuri indiene, meticuloase cercetări de laborator şi o bibliografie extinsă, autorii demontează mituri şi ne explică care sunt efectele benefice pe care meditaţia le are asupra minţii, a sufletului şi a trupului. Scopul celor care se dedică sau se gândesc să se dedice meditaţiei nu ar trebui să fie o mai bună stare a sănătăţii ori succesul în afaceri, ci atingerea unui nivel superior în natura noastră umană prin cultivarea unor calități precum altruismul, echilibrul sufletesc, o prezență iubitoare și compasiunea, care nu sunt altceva decât însuşiri pozitive modificate. „Iată o carte care îţi poate schimba viaţa. Daniel Goleman şi Richard Davidson îţi arată nu doar puterea formidabilă pe care o are meditaţia, ci şi cele mai inteligente metode de a o practica pentru a obţine maximum de beneficii. Însuşiri modificate este ghidul tău pentru o viaţă mai ancorată în prezent, mai plină de compasiune şi mai împlinită – cine nu îşi doreşte asta?“ —Arianna Huffington, autoarea bestsellerului Revoluția somnului „Doi dintre cei mai influenți cercetători din lume au scris cartea supremă despre meditaţie. Bazată pe studii riguroase şi cu adevărat lămuritoare, Însuşiri modificate este o lectură obligatorie pentru toţi cei interesaţi de potenţialul ascuns al minţii umane.“ —Daniel Gilbert, autorul bestsellerului În căutarea fericirii

Become a Better Leader by Improving Your Emotional Intelligence Bestselling author DANIEL GOLEMAN first brought the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) to the forefront of business through his articles in Harvard Business Review, establishing EI as an indispensable trait for leaders. The Emotionally Intelligent Leader brings together three of Goleman''s bestselling HBR articles. In "What Makes a Leader?" Goleman explores research that found that truly effective leaders are distinguished by high levels of self-awareness and sharp social skills. In "The Focused Leader," Goleman explains neuroscience research that proves that "being focused" is more than filtering out distractions while concentrating on one thing. In "Leadership That Gets Results," Goleman draws on research to outline six distinct leadership styles, each one springing from different components of emotional intelligence. Together, these three articles guide leaders to recognize the direct ties between EI and measurable business results.

La inteligencia emocional constituye un verdadero fenómeno editorial que no solamente revoluciono el concepto de inteligencia, sino que agregó una nueva expresión a nuestro vocabulario cotidiano y cambió el modo en que percibimos la excelencia personal. Por qué no siempre el alumno más inteligente termina siendo el adulto que mayor éxito tiene en el trabajo? Por que algunos son más capaces que otros de enfrentar contratiempos, superar obstáculos y ver las dificultades bajo una optica distinta?. Un nuevo concepto viene a darnos la respuesta a estos interrogantes. Es la inteligencia emocional la que nos permite tomar conciencia de nuestras emociones, comprender los sentimientos de los demas, tolerar las presiones y frustraciones que soportamos en el trabajo, incrementar nuestra capacidad de empatía y nuestras habilidades sociales y aumentar nuestras posibilidades de desarrollo social ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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. Through vivid examples, Goleman delineates the five crucial skills of emotional intelligence, and shows how they determine our success in relationships, work, and even our physical well-being. What emerges is an entirely new way to talk about being smart. The best news is that "emotional literacy" is not fixed early in life. Every parent, every teacher, every business leader, and everyone interested in a more civil society, has a stake in this compelling vision of human possibility.

With this double volume you''ll get HBR''s 10 Must Reads on Emotional Intelligence and the HBR Guide to Emotional Intelligence. That''s 10 definitive HBR articles on emotional intelligence by Goleman and other leaders in the field, curated by our editors--paired with smart, focused advice from HBR experts about how to implement those ideas in your daily work life. With Everyday Emotional Intelligence, you''ll learn how to: Recognize your own EQ strengths and weaknesses Regulate your emotions in tough situations Manage difficult people Build the social awareness of your team Motivate yourself through ups and downs Write forceful emails people won''t misinterpret Make better, less emotionally biased decisions Help an employee develop emotional intelligence Handle specific situations like crying at work and tense communications across different cultures

A radical reinterpretation of mental exercise from two New York Times bestselling authors - "What if we could exercise our minds like we exercise our bodies?" - backed by state-of-the-art scientific research More than forty years ago, two friends and collaborators at Harvard, Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson were unusual in arguing for the benefits of meditation. Now, as mindfulness and other brands of meditation become ever more popular, to fix even more about our lives, they reveal the cutting-edge science of how smart practice can change our personal traits and even our genome for the better. Drawing on the kind of cutting-edge research that has made them giants in their fields, Goleman and Davidson sweep away neuromythology and reveal what we can learn from a one-of-a-kind data pool of world-class meditators. They share for the first time remarkable findings that show how meditation can cultivate - without drugs or high expense - qualities such as focus, selflessness, and compassion. For beyond the pleasant states that mental exercises can produce, purposeful, sustained mind training can create altered traits: sustained, beneficial qualities of thinking, feeling, and acting that are accompanied by lasting, supportive changes in the brain. Demonstrating two master thinkers at work, The Science of Meditation explains precisely how and when mind training benefits us. More than daily doses or sheer hours, we need smart practice, including crucial ingredients such as targeted feedback from a master teacher and a more spacious, less attached view of the self, all of which are missing in many versions of mind training. Exploring, too, how new technologies can really help with meditation, this is the truth about what meditation can do for us today. Gripping in its storytelling and grounded in new research, this is one of those rare books that has the power to change us at the deepest level.

But while it’s easy to say “just put yourself in someone else’s shoes,” the reality is that understanding the motivations and emotions of others often proves elusive.

¿Cuáles son los verdaderos criterios que guían a los empleadores a la hora de contratar a alguien? ¿Quiénes son las personas que alcanzan altos cargos en las empresas? Daniel Goleman realiza una profunda investigación acerca del concepto de inteligencia emocional aplicado al trabajo y demuestra que quienes alcanzan altos niveles dentro de las organizaciones poseen un gran control de sus emociones, están motivados y son generadores de entusiasmo. Saben trabajar en equipo, tienen iniciativa y logran influir en los estados de ánimo de sus compañeros. Goleman aborda tres grandes temas que se relacionan con el trabajo: las capacidades emocionales individuales, las habilidades para trabajar en equipo y la nueva empresa organizada con inteligencia emocional. También, demuestra la importancia de adaptarse a las nuevas condiciones en las empresas modernas, la necesidad del autocontrol en situaciones de estrés y la importancia de ser honesto, íntegro y responsable. Los gerentes más eficaces son emocionalmente inteligentes debido a su claridad de objetivos, su confianza en sí mismos, su poder de influir positivamente y de “leer” los sentimientos ajenos. La buena noticia es que la inteligencia emocional se puede aprender. A nivel individual, sus elementos son fáciles de identificar, se pueden evaluar y mejorar. Indudablemente, esta capacidad no es mágica. No nos haremos ricos con sólo practicarla, pero lo cierto es que si ignoramos el elemento humano estamos destinados al fracaso. En el complejo mundo moderno, el progreso de las empresas y de los individuos que las componen dependerá cada vez más de la inteligencia emocional. “Goleman es un maestro que domina plenamente su campo y relaciona con habilidad los nuevos conceptos con la antigua sabiduría sobre la vida afectiva.”

L''attenzione è una risorsa mentale sottile, sfuggente, invisibile quasi, e per questo viene generalmente poco considerata. Eppure riveste un''importanza enorme rispetto al modo in cui affrontiamo la vita: i suoi effetti, come hanno spiegato in questi ultimi anni le neuroscienze, si fanno sentire nella maggior parte delle cose che facciamo, soprattutto oggi, assediati come siamo da una marea di dati e stimoli difficili da gestire. In questo nuovo studio rivoluzionario Daniel Goleman esamina il ruolo centrale dell''attenzione nei diversi ambiti della nostra vita e i benefici che possiamo ricavare dal suo rafforzamento: indicando le strategie più efficaci per combinare concentrazione, empatia e autocontrollo, l''autore spiega come muoversi tra tensioni, distrazioni e obiettivi che riempiono le nostre giornate e trovare il giusto equilibrio capace di lasciar spazio sia alla produttività sia alla creatività.

Combinando pesquisa de ponta e descobertas práticas, Daniel Goleman mostra por que a base do sucesso em todas as áreas da vida é sua capacidade de ter foco. Você está prestando atenção? Ou já se distraiu checando seus e-mails, mensagens, Facebook, Twitter? Resistiu ao impulso de deixar sua mente divagar? Se tiver resistido, muito bem: normalmente uma pessoa fica distraída por mais de 40% do tempo quando lê um texto. Mas quais são os benefícios de ficar focado por um longo período? Uma palavra: sucesso. Segundo Daniel Goleman, autor do best-seller Inteligência emocional, a atenção funciona de forma muito parecida com um músculo: se não o utilizamos, fica atrofiado; se o exercitamos, se desenvolve e se fortalece. Numa era de distrações intermináveis, Goleman argumenta que precisamos aprender a aprimorar nosso foco se quisermos prosperar no mundo complexo em que vivemos. Aqueles que alcançam rendimento máximo (seja nos estudos, nos negócios, nos esportes ou nas artes) são precisamente os que prestam atenção no que é mais importante para seu desempenho. Foco é uma ferramenta essencial, é o que diferencia um especialista de um amador, um profissional de sucesso do funcionário mediano. Foco traz um olhar inovador sobre o segredo para o alto desempenho e mostra como a atenção tem um papel fundamental para o sucesso.

Annotation.

Non ci sono più i leader di una volta. Pessima notizia? No, forse è meglio così. Ora che il concetto di intelligenza emotiva è entrato a pieno diritto nella nostra società, anche la vecchia e logora concezione della leadership basata sul potere e sull''autorità è stata definitivamente scalzata. Perché non bastano più l''attitudine al comando e le competenze tecniche per ottenere risultati, far quadrare i bilanci aziendali, salvare imprese e organizzazioni dalla bancarotta. Occorre essere in grado di mobilitare le energie migliori del proprio gruppo di lavoro, sapere giocare sulle motivazioni profonde di ognuno e allo stesso tempo analizzare lucidamente le proprie, esercitare la difficile arte dell''autocontrollo e della critica senza rinunciare all''empatia. In questo libro, Daniel Goleman ci spiega come essere capi migliori, più efficienti e più amati. Con un''ammonizione: adottare un unico stile di comando non è più sufficiente. La leadership del futuro è fluida: a seconda delle circostanze, dovremmo assumere le caratteristiche del capo visionario, di quello "allenatore", del federatore, del democratico, dell''incalzante e dell''autoritario. Perché sapere governare e gestire gli stati d''animo di chi lavora con noi è la chiave dell''armonia e del talento creativo che soli possono garantire lo sviluppo economico e culturale, nelle piccole comunità aziendali come nell''intera società. E che possono permettere al leader di adempiere alla sua missione principale, ottenere risultati, senza rinunciare a realizzarsi e a crescere.

A new integration of Goleman''s emotional, social, and ecological intelligence Hopeful, eloquent, and bold, Ecoliterate offers inspiring stories, practical guidance, and an exciting new model of education that builds - in vitally important ways - on the success of social and emotional learning by addressing today''s most important ecological issues. This book shares stories of pioneering educators, students, and activists engaged in issues related to food, water, oil, and coal in communities from the mountains of Appalachia to a small village in the Arctic; the deserts of New Mexico to the coast of New Orleans; and the streets of Oakland, California to the hills of South Carolina. Ecoliterate marks a rich collaboration between Daniel Goleman and the Center for Ecoliteracy, an organization best known for its pioneering work with school gardens, school lunches, and integrating ecological principles and sustainability into school curricula. For nearly twenty years the Center has worked with schools and organizations in more than 400 communities across the United States and numerous other countries. Ecoliterate also presents five core practices of emotionally and socially engaged ecoliteracy and a professional development guide.

What is the subtle relationship between mind and body? What can today''s scientists learn about this relationship from masters of Buddhist thought? Is it possible that by combining Western and Eastern approaches, we can reach a new understanding of the nature of the mind, the human potential for growth, the possibilities for mental and physical health?

El Quocient dIntel·ligència (QI), determina el nostre destí? En aquest fascinant i persuasiu llibre, Daniel Goleman defensa que la nostra visió de la intel·ligència humana és estreta, atès que defuig un ampli ventall de capacitats essencials per a la vida. Defuig allò que ell anomena intel·ligència emocional. Recolzant-se en la més moderna investigació sobre el cervell i la conducta, l''autor explica per quina raó persones amb un quocient intel·lectual alt fracassen en les seves empreses vitals, mentre que daltres, amb un QI més modest, triomfen clarament. La intel·ligència emocional és una manera dinteractuar amb el món que té molt en compte els sentiments i engloba habilitats com ara el control dels impulsos, l''autoconsciència, la motivació, lentusiasme, la perseverança, lempatia, lagilitat mental, etcètera. Aquestes habilitats configuren trets de caràcter com lautodisciplina, la compassió o laltruisme, que són indispensables per a una bona i creativa adaptació social. El dèficit dintel·ligència emocional repercuteix en mil aspectes de la vida quotidiana, des de problemes matrimonials fins a trastorns de salut. (L''angoixa crònica, per exemple, constitueix un factor de risc tan rellevant com el fet de fumar un cigarret darrere laltre). La negligència de la intel·ligència emocional pot arruïnar moltes carreres i, en el cas de nens i adolescents, pot dur a la depressió, els trastorns alimentaris, lagressivitat i la delinqüència. Ara bé, tots podem fomentar i enfortir la nostra intel·ligència emocional, i lautor ens proporciona una àmplia i detallada guia per aconseguir-ho. Basant-se en la manera com els nens aprenen a modelar els seus circuits cerebrals, Goleman ens ensenya també un programa pedagògic per al desenvolupament integral de lésser humà. El futur no està escrit enlloc: la intel·ligència emocional no és un paràmetre fixat des del moment del naixement: cal desenvolupar-la, tenir-ne cura, fomentar-la.

Per diventare un vero leader non bastano lintelligenza e la bravura, non serve lautoritarismo. Il compito fondamentale dei leader è innescare sentimenti positivi nelle persone che li circondano, coinvolgere i collaboratori, farsi stimare. Lessenza primaria della leadership, pertanto, è di natura emozionale. Ma un leader non è soltanto il manager in senso stretto. A scuola come in famiglia, in politica come nello sport, nel volontariato, in vacanza, nelle attività associazionistiche come in un gruppo di amici e perfino nel rapporto di coppia, chiunque può essere leader. E deve trovare in se stesso la flessibilità, la creatività, la fantasia che servono a tenere desta lattenzione degli altri e portare a termine con successo un progetto. Un libro per conoscere le qualità emotive che fanno un vero leader e imparare a svilupparle, in ogni campo della vita
