What does it mean to be intelligent? What part is intellect, and what part is emotion?
Aristotle's Challenge: "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 - this is not easy." Nicomachean Ethics
You can take the last part of this quote as a definition of emotional intelligence: "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 emotional intelligence. How to hold back your emotional impulses. How to read another person's feelings. How to handle relationships smoothly. People skills, as opposed to skills with things and ideas. And you can learn it.
Even if you argue that IQ is genetic, that it can't be changed, you can change how well you deal with things emotionally. You can learn how to do better with your emotions, and with other people. Emotional intelligence is your passion for anything, your self-control, your tact, your persistence, your motivation—basically, your ability to work your emotion into whatever will help you get to where you want.
Why would you want to be more emotionally intelligent?
- It helps you.It's for your own personal, individual benefit. You get a better chance in life if you can act and interact with emotional intelligence.
- It helps us.Our society, our world, desperately needs people to behave with emotional intelligence.As a culture - American culture, or even as a world society - are we doing okay?In the book you’ll start reading right away,Emotional Intelligence,Daniel Goleman talks about the fabric of society unraveling - and he brings it down to how people are using, or misusing, their emotions with one another.
