2、in the passage.Another Intelligence Emotional intelligence as a theory was first brought to public attention by the book Emotional Intelligence, Why It can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman, but the theory itself is, in fact, attributed to two Americans, John D Mayer and Peter Salovey. What is e

The first is knowing ones own emotions: being able to recognize that one is in an emotional state and having the ability to identify which emotion is being experienced, even if it is not a part
4、icularly comfortable feeling to admit to, e.g. jealously or envy. Emotional awareness can then lead to managing ones emotions. This involves dealing with emotions, like jealousy, resentment, anger, etc, that one may have difficulty accepting by, perhaps, giving oneself comfort food, or doing nice th

Goleman himself has even suggested that emotional intelligence is just a new way of describing competence; what some people
13、 might call savior faire or savoir vivre. Part of the problem here is that society or some parts of society have forgotten that these skills ever existed and have found the need to re-invent them.
