| Summary |
Is there a way to raise our children to be happy? What is the basis of a nourishing marriage? How can business leaders and teachers inspire the best in those they lead and teach? How can groups divided by prejudice and hatred come to live together in peace? The answers to these questions may not be as elusive as we once thought. And Goleman delivers his most heartening news with powerful conviction: we humans have a built-in bias toward empathy, cooperation, and altruism-provided we develop the social intelligence to nurture these capacities in ourselves and others. Includes information on altruism, amygdala, anger, caregiving, compassion, facial expressions, helping professions, I-You interactions (I and Thou), leaders, Machiavellians, narcissism, narcissists, parent child interactions, date rape, psychopaths, rapport, resilience, sex and desire, stress, synchrony (coordination), Us Them interactions, women, workplace, etc. Winner 2006-Amazon's Top 10 Editors' Picks: Health, Mind & Body |
