The book "Social Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman discusses the revolutionary science that reveals the influence of our relationships on every aspect of our lives. Goleman analyzes the synthesis of the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are 'wired' and that our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and strangers shape our brains and affect our body's cells to an extent we do not realize.
This new science has significant implications for our interpersonal world, proving that we are designed for social interaction. Goleman explains the importance of first impressions, the basis of charm and emotional power, as well as the complexity of sexual attraction and the detection of lies. He also describes the 'dark side' of social intelligence and reveals our astonishing capacity for 'mindsight', as well as the tragedy of those with diminished capacity, such as autistic children.
Goleman's message is positive: people have an inherent tendency towards empathy, cooperation, and altruism, provided we develop social intelligence to cultivate these abilities.
