Optimal
There are moments when we achieve peak performance: an athlete plays a perfect game; a business has a quarter with once-in-a-lifetime profits. But these moments are often fleeting, and for every amazing day, we may have a hundred ordinary and even unsatisfying ones. Fulfillment doesn’t come from isolated peak experiences, or elusive ‘flow’ states, but rather from many consistent good days. So how do we sustain performance, while avoiding burnout and maintaining balance? In Optimal, Daniel Goleman and Cary Cherniss reveal how emotional intelligence can help us have a great day, any day. They explain how to set a realistic, attainable goal of feeling satisfied that you’ve had a productive day — to consistently work at your ‘optimal’ level. Based on research of how hundreds of people build the inner architecture of having a good day, they sketch what an optimal state feels like, and show how emotional intelligence holds the key to our best performance. Optimal is the culmination of decades of scientific discoveries bearing on emotional intelligence. Enhanced emotional intelligence pays off in improved engagement, productivity and more satisfying days. In this book, you’ll find the keys to competence in emotional intelligence, and practical methods for applying this skill set more readily. It will equip you to become a highly effective leader and enable you to build an organizational culture that empowers workers to sustain high performance.

Emotional intelligence - the ability to accurately perceive, understand and manage our own emotions and those of others - is now embedded in our public discourse. It's an idea so pervasive and important in our society that leaders such as Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase and New York City mayor Eric Adams have placed it at the heart of what they do. Daniel Goleman's bestselling book Emotional Intelligence was the first to coin the term and bring it to a mass audience. Now, more than 25 years after it was first published, he and Rutgers professor of psychology Cary Cherniss take a fresh look at how emotional intelligence has evolved. Reframing 'EI' as the foundation for performing at our best, they provide an essential guide for leaders and managers to: -Manage their emotions and negotiate those of colleagues, partners and friends-Increase concentration and encourage flow-Develop self-awareness-Build a sense of purpose-Harness empathy to influence and inspire Optimal shows how high performance can be cultivated at every level, scaling emotional intelligence from the outstanding individual to top teams and leading organisations in one definitive resource.
