It’s not IQ, but mostly emotional intelligence that plays a major role in thought, decision making and success in various spheres of life. Self-awareness, Motivation, Empathy all these are the Important qualities that mark people who excel in their life journey. In his book Goleman talks about and How emotional intelligence can be developed and how its principals can be applied in practical life.

Basically, emotional intelligence means bringing emotions within the domain of intelligence. It has five important domains.

1. Knowing one’s emotion- Self-awareness. Recognizing, analyzing, and identifying one’s own feeling is the keystone of emotional intelligence. The ability to monitor feeling from moment to moment is crucial to psychological insight and self- understanding. According to Daniel Goleman, persons with greater insight, understanding about their feeling are better decision makers in their personal and professional lives.(You may also like Life management through management of the present.)

People who do not have expertise in managing emotions are constantly battling feeling of stress, while those who have mastered the skills, excel in life and can bounce back far more quickly from life setbacks, tragedy  and failures.
3. Motivating oneself– In Chapter 6, writer talks about the marshalling and control of emotions in service of a goal, self- motivation, mastery, productivity and creativity.

People who excel in this art do well in anything that depends on relying on Interacting smoothly, interpersonal effectiveness, interpersonal communication and leadership. Perhaps they are recognize, identified and labelled as social stars in the society.

According to views of psychologist of the world and Daniel Goldman the old concept of Intelligent question revolve around linguistic and mathematical skills, Which are predictor of success in classrooms. But acquiring good emotional skills and ability is also essential for success in Personal, professional, and social dimensions of life.

“If your emotional abilities are not in hand. If you don’t have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your stress emotions, if you can’t have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far”.

 Daniel Goldman.
