Introduction to Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence really isn’t something new. Around 350 BC, Aristotle wrote, “Anyone can become angry – that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not easy.” That’s the essence of Emotional Intelligence. This introduction to Emotional Intelligence explains the neuroscience of emotions as well as the science of emotions.
