Daniel Goleman

Daniel Goleman is an accomplished American author, psychologist, and science journalist, best known for his work in the fields of psychology, business, and self-help. Goleman spent twelve years reporting on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times before publishing his groundbreaking debut book, Emotional Intelligence, in 1995. This book quickly became a New York Times bestseller and has since been translated into over 40 languages worldwide.

Emotional Intelligence transformed how people approach education, personal relationships, and business conduct. The Wall Street Journal recognized Goleman as one of the top 10 most influential business thinkers. His work has had a lasting impact, with Emotional Intelligence appearing on The New York Times bestsellers list for a year and a half and named as one of the 25 most influential business management books by TIME.

In addition to Emotional Intelligence, Goleman has authored several other influential books on topics such as transparency, creativity, meditation, emotional and social learning, ecological crisis, and eco-literacy. His more recent works include Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, The Brain and Emotional Intelligence, and Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence - Selected Writings. Goleman's work has earned him numerous awards, including the Career Achievement Award for Excellence in the Media and recognition from the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Goleman's contributions to the fields of psychology, business, and self-help have been significant. His work on emotional intelligence has changed how people view and cultivate success in their personal and professional lives. His latest books, What Makes a Leader: Why Emotional Intelligence Matters and The Triple Focus: A New Approach to Education, continue to build on his earlier work and offer new insights and approaches to leadership and education. Goleman's work has been widely recognized and celebrated, earning him a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Psychological Association for his media writing. He continues to live and work in Massachusetts.
