Daniel Goleman lectures frequently to business audiences, professional groups and on college campuses. A psychologist who for many years reported on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times, Dr. Goleman previously was a visiting faculty member at Harvard.

Dr. Goleman’s most recent books are The Brain and Emotional Intelligence: New Insights and Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence (www.MoreThanSound.net). In the first, he reviews recent findings from neuroscience and how they inform our understanding of emotional intelligence. In Leadership he has collected together in a single volume his key work on the topic from his books and his articles in the Harvard Business Review.

His book Emotional Intelligence argued that human competencies like self-awareness, self-regulation, and empathy add value to cognitive abilities in many domains of life. The book was on bestseller list for a year-and-a-half, and has since been translated into nearly 30 languages.

He was a co-founder of the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning at the Yale University Child Studies Center. He’s currently co-chairman of The Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations, based in the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University. He is also a member of the board of directors of the Mind & Life Institute.

Dr. Goleman has received many journalistic awards for his writing, including two nominations for the Pulitzer Prize for his articles in the Times.
