Some Comments
Goleman said the last decade has seen a burst of scientific studies of emotion. Two moral stances are called for in our times: self restraint and compassion. He mentioned that fundamental ethical stances in life stem from underlying emotional capacities. This book is Goleman's journey through the theories and empirical results of tests of these theories with the aim of bringing greater understanding of the issue of role of emotions in behavior and ways to improve human behavior.
