Goleman based his ideas on emerging work in neuroscience that shows that the emotional centres of the brain are involved in everything we think and do and are enormously important in our daily life.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to observe, distinguish, control and appraise our emotions.
