Daniel Goleman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daniel Goleman (born March 7, 1946) is an internationally renowned author, psychologist, science journalist and corporate consultant. He was born to a professor couple in Stockton, California where his father taught world literature at the San Joaquin Delta College, while his mother taught in the sociology department of what is now the University of the Pacific [1]. Goleman received his Ph.D. from Harvard, where he has also given classes.
Goleman wrote the international best-seller book Emotional Intelligence (1995, Bantam Books) that spent about one-and-a-half-years on the New York Times Best Seller list [2]. Goleman's other best-seller book is Social Intelligence. Previously, Goleman has written for the New York Times, editing its science page and specializing in psychology and brain sciences.
Goleman has received many awards for his writing, including a Career Achievement award for journalism from the American Psychological Association [2]. He was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science as a recognition of his efforts to communicate the behavioral sciences to the public [2].
Daniel Goleman currently resides at Berkshire Hills in New England [1]. He is a co-chairman of The Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations, which is based in the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University. Goleman was a co-founder of Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning at the Yale University Child Studies Center (now at the University of Illinois, Chicago). Goleman is also a member of the board of directors of the Mind & Life Institute [2].
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds. ~ Daniel Goleman in Vital Lies, Simple Truths: The Psychology of Self-Deception
This quote is widely misattributed[citation needed] to R.D. Laing but appears in Goleman’s (1985) book Vital Lies, Simple Truths with the following introduction: “To put it in the form of one of R.D. Laing’s ‘knots’:” (p. 24): “Knots” being a reference to an earlier text by Laing (1972). So it is in the form of Laing but not by Laing. It came from his clinical psychotherapeutic experiences, but it speaks to the field of conflict psychology and facilitation as well.
