The relationship between intelligence and success in life is clear and almost axiomatic. And how does the emotional sphere of a person affect life achievements? What emotional components primarily shape our Destiny? Is it possible (and how exactly, if so) to correct the emotional patterns inherent in a person when they slow down his movement for the better? And in general, is it really possible to combine two words — "emotional" and "intelligence" —and not get a contradiction? The answers to these questions are provided by David Goleman's book, which is based on a scientific base and at the same time easily written for a wide audience — one of the undisputed psychological bestsellers of recent decades.
