Daniel Goleman

The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain.

In a high-IQ job pool, soft skills like discipline, drive and empathy mark those who emerge as outstanding.

I would say that IQ is the strongest predictor of which field you can get into and hold a job in, whether you can be an accountant, lawyer or nurse, for example.

Hatred is a very underestimated emotion.

What distresses me at times is that I meet a lot of people in their 40's, 50's, 60's, who still say they're a victim of child abuse.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.
