Emotional Intelligence : Why It Can Matter More Than IQ for Character, Health and Lifelong Achievement
Author:Daniel P. Goleman
There was a time when IQ was considered the leading determinant of success. In this
fascinating book, based on brain and behavioral research, Daniel Goleman argues that our IQ- idolizing
view of intelligence is far too narrow. Instead, Goleman makes the case for "emotional

by friends, partners, and family members

Author:Anne Colby & William Damon
Although many people believe that this is a barren time for moral leadership
in this country, in Some Do Care Anne Colby and William Damon show that moral heroes do exist today.
Drawing on in-depth interviews, they offer a revealing look into the lives of twenty-three Americans

who have worked for the poor, fought battles for civil rights, worked for peace and protection of the e
nvironment, and generally have dedicated their lives to the service of others. Some are highly educated;
others have had no more than a grade school education. Some are wealthy and influential, while others
live near the poverty line. All have made a marked difference on their own communities and on America
society. Some Do Care traces the lives and goals of these dedicated people from their first moral
awakening in childhood to the wisdom and enduring moral commitment of their later years.
