Almost ten years after the publication of his bestselling book Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman presents a new field of study with unexpected implications for our interpersonal world. Social Intelligence is based on a particularly vivid and masterful connection of key discoveries in biology, neuroscience, and psychology with the everyday behaviors and experiences that define our lives and relationships.
The foundational insight of the book: our brains are social. We humans are wired for sociability, constantly engaged in a neural dance that connects our own brain to the brain of those around us. Much more than we realize, our daily interactions and encounters with parents, spouses, friends, bosses, and even total strangers shape our brain and profoundly affect the cells in our bodies, reaching down to our very genes—for better or for worse.
And something equally important: we are capable of empathy, collaboration, and altruism. All it takes is to develop our social intelligence and cultivate these qualities in ourselves and others.
