Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand what they’re telling you, and realize how your emotions affect people around you. It also involves your perception of others: when you understand how they feel, this allows you to manage relationships more effectively. The American psychologist and science journalist Daniel Goleman first coined the term emotional intelligence. He wrote for the New York Times for over 12 years, reporting on the complexity of the human brain and behavioral sciences.
Goleman’s EQ theory comprises five core components: Empathy (I Sense Your Pain), Effective Communication (Social Skills), Self-Awareness, Self-Regulation, and Self-Motivation.
