Dear Dr. Goleman,
Good Day! I’m a faculty in a nursing school in the Philippines and currently having my thesis writing about emotional intelligence in nursing leadership. I would like to ask permission if I can use your competency framework as instrument and if you have articles related to my topic that I can used I would really apreciate it. Thank you.

Dear Dr. Daniel Goleman,

Would you, please, inform me about universities that interrelate EI with Leadership studies at a PhD level? I am asking because I am preparing to study on leadership to teach at one of the graduate schools in Ethiopia, of course, if I got the scholarship. Your information would be a great contribution both for the graduate school in general and for me in particular. Rest assured that this will impact the Ethiopian society and beyond.

Dr. Goleman,
I’ve identified certain personal and social skills that I’d like to improve upon before I accept a new job. I am not affiliated with an organization-sponsored EI program, and as you point out, the readily available 2-day trainings have dubious value. What other options are there for me, and other self-improvers, to work on re-creating behavioral habits?
Thank you,
Margie

It is heartening to note that the brain circuitry can be changed. You have referred it in your book ‘Emotional Intelligence’ as well.
I will like to add that people with strong emotional reactions and who take longer to recover are the worst sufferers and most in need of help. ‘Help’ in the sense that they need to be convinced that they CAN do something to change themselves.
The mindfulness practice referred by you is worth exploring by anyone who wants to live a healthy emotional life.
Thanks for the great information, as always.

Dear Sir,
I read your book on “Emotional Intelligence” and would like to say I wish I had it fifty years ago. When I went to IIT and got a Chemical Engineering degree I was hesitant to take the mandatory humanity courses. I remember them saying this information will help you through life.
I am now retired but would like to offer you the background of my life in a dysfunctional family where my wife and I argued more than not and still, after over forty years of marriage, continue our incompatable dialog. Out of four children we raised in that environment, three tried suicide. I think a real life experience which you typically use in your writing drive a point home, my continuing errors would be terrific fodder to share with others and your recommended changes that would have made my family’s life better.
Thanks,
Ken

First I want to thank you: your book on emotional intelligence has explained many things about myself that I could not understand in almost 25 years. I become a parent and I found myself lost in this territory: how and what shall I teach my child so that he will be a complete and balanced adult. I did not know how to reply to this urging question. I did not know how to be a complete and balance adult myself. Well today I know what I definetely missed in life are the precious lessons ofemotional intelligence. In spite of my IQ I have collected several failures. I am not just a reader interested in your writings; I am in urgence to correct myself in many areas so that I can then teach the right things to my child.
But how can I do this ? As V. Bentley, another participant to this blog, wrote you
I need to enter into practical trainings because I am really all dedicated now to become a better me !
thank you for reading me
Thank you for reading

I am wondering how the emotional brain health is impacted by Alzheimer’s? I have a parent who may be facing this diagnosis. Your blog entries are fascinating. Thank you!

A very timely and insightful post.
Is it possible that someone who was usually quite quick to recover from a surge, after suffering depression, now takes arguments a lot more seriously?

If so, how can one go back to recovering quickly? Does it have something to do with a consistent nervous system overload?
