Daniel Goleman

Daniel Goleman (born 1946, Stockton, California) is the best-selling author of several books that describe Emotional Intelligence. He has a Ph.D. from Harvard, where he has also given classes.

Before coming into the public eye with his books on Emotional Intelligence, Goleman had many years of experience writing for the New York Times and editing its science page, specializing in psychology and brain sciences.

After the publication of his first book, Goleman founded the Emotional Intelligence Consortium, to continue his research, and published several other books in this area. Further, he enhanced his emotional competence framework (as of 2002) by dividing his competencies into 25 abilities. On his Web site, he shares his framework, bibliographic references on emotional intelligence, courses, and strategies devoted to enhancing emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence tests, and so on.

There is also a critical review of Goleman entitled "How he misled the public; Notes from his books; Copies of some his articles, Notes on his background" available at http://eqi.org/gole.htm This site however, is a personal opinion. Steve Hein has no degree in psychology and alludes to his perosnal life quite often.

Many people have over the years, questioned Goleman's affiliation with corporate training companies that teach EQ to employees on a hugely profitable basis by retailing the principles of EQ as a recognized science, and selling his tests, and course materials.
