Daniel Goleman is an American psychologist, author, and science journalist renowned for his pioneering work on emotional intelligence. He gained international prominence with his 1995 book, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, which redefined the traditional understanding of intelligence to emphasize the importance of emotional awareness and management alongside cognitive skills. Goleman's framework for emotional intelligence consists of five key components: Self-awareness, Self-regulation, Motivation, Empathy, and Social skills. His research and writing have made emotional intelligence a global movement, influencing education, business, and personal development worldwide.
