episode 399: Daniel Goleman | Social Intelligence
Daniel Goleman visits Google to discuss his book “Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships.”
In this book, Goleman brings to life the field of social neuroscience that has emerged in the 21st century. He shows that far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies. Our relationships create a setpoint for our daily moods and influence our immune response; they are crucial to achievement in students and workers; they determine whether or not some genes are expressed, for good or ill.
Above all, Goleman explores the foundations of rapport, love, cooperation, and altruism, with major implications for the wellbeing of our families, communities, and workplaces. Whether you read this book as a lover or parent, medical professional or businessperson, teacher or community leader, you will never see your relationships in the same way again.
