Emotional Intelligence in our life That's been a while since last time I wrote something in my notebook.I didn't find the time (the everlasting excuse) or,may be,I hadn't had the motivation to do this. Anyways,since I've decided to master my English by the end of May,the only way to do that is practice,practice and again practice.Practice makes perfect. Have you ever wondered why we get angry or furious when somebody jolts us in public transport,or why,when we get angry, scold our mum and thus insult her?And finally, are you interested in how to control our emotional outbursts in everyday life?If so,I would like to share with you some glimpses and ideas written in the book named "Emotional Intelligence" written by Daniel Goleman. To start off,let me tell you who is this man.Author of 15 books (so far) in psychology and somewhat sociology, mostly about emotional intelligence; psychologist who received his PHD in Harvard University; a science journalist at New York Times who wrote articles about new breakthroughs in the field of psychology. His undeniable bestseller is Emotional Intelligence - a comprehensive book on the nature of emotions, human decision making and a practicum on emotion handling. Since I started reading this book and put a goal of mastering English, I thought about sharing my reading experience with you guys, and also practice my rusty English writing skills. "Everyone may become furious - it's quite simple. But to get angry on who deserves it, when they deserve it, and how they deserve it - not that simple." Aristotle These are the first words of the book, and I think it perfectly describes it's content related to emotional intelligence. The first thing he mentions is the fact that your emotional state can spread to others. It's that case when your day suddenly becomes more cheerful when a bus drivers greets you and talks about beautiful sights and places of your city, thus breaking your daily gray routine. Every emotion implies a tendency to move or act. In fact, the word itself comes from latin "motre" which means movement or to move. If you are left with a child, you'll see that when he get's angry - he starts to cry, to throw things away, to move his hands nervously just to get what he wants. The same thing with animals who have emotions (like dogs when they want to play). And when it comes to adults, the intelligent side of our brain (neocortex) kiks in. Here we witness a dichotomy of human behavior - emotional/rational behavior. That's it, follow my next notes =)
