Following the sensational concept of emotional intelligence, Daniel Goleman brings his own concept of social intelligence to the attention of readers. The author examines its elements in detail - from the ability to listen and empathize to the ability to influence others - and binds them to neurobiological processes. Masterfully using serious scientific data and examples from life, he convincingly proves that the biological basis of social intelligence can and should be worked with. At the same time, Goleman offers not “sofa” recipes, but a space full of facts for reflection. We can learn to listen to each other without being infected with negativity, to treat others as “you” rather than “it,” to expand the mental category of “we” by reducing “they”and then, Goleman hopes, there will be less hatred and disunity in the world, more creative and healing relationships.
