Emotional Intelligence
by Daniel Goleman
Three key ideas
- Name the feeling before you act on it. That gives you space to ask what happened and choose a response.
- Regulating means choosing how to respond while you still allow yourself to feel. It is not hiding the feeling.
- Link a hard action to a goal you value, and break it into manageable steps instead of waiting for enthusiasm.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.Name it before you act
- 2.Feel it, then choose
- 3.Reasons beat moods
- 4.Ask before you assume
- 5.Say it so it can be done
From the comic
