“What really matters for success, character, happiness and life long achievements is a definite set of emotional skills – your EQ – not just purely cognitive abilities that are measured by conventional IQ tests.” –Daniel Goleman, Ph.D.

“Stress kills and the deepest scientific mystery has been how the killers stress and depression invade from the world of thought and emotion into the immune system, where they weaken the body’s resistance. Psychoneuroimmunologists are mapping those biological invasion pathways.” (Read Paul Pearsall, “The Pleasure Prescription.” He’s a psychoneuroimmunologist.)

“Emotional competence is the single most important personal quality that each of us must develop and access to experience a breakthrough. Only through managing our emotions can we access our intellect and our technical competence. An emotionally competent person performs better under pressure.” –Dave Lennick, Executive VP, American Express Financial Advisers
