Psychologist and author of multiple books on topics such as psychology, leadership, and science – including bestselling titles like Emotional Intelligence and Focus – Dr. Daniel Goleman has transformed the way the world educates children, relates to family and friends, and conducts business. A frequent speaker to businesses of all kinds and sizes, he has worked with leaders around the globe, examining the way social and emotional competencies impact the bottom line.

Ranked one of the 10 most influential business thinkers by The Wall Street Journal, Goleman’s articles in the Harvard Business Review are among the most frequently requested reprints of all time. One of these pieces, “The Focused Leader,” won the 2013 HBR McKinsey Award for best article of the year. Apart from his writing on emotional intelligence, Goleman has written books on topics including self-deception, creativity, transparency, meditation, social and emotional learning, ecoliteracy, and the ecological crisis.

He is also the host of First Person Plural: Emotional Intelligence and Beyond, a podcast about us, the systems we’re a part of, and how we can create an emotionally intelligent future.
