This week Luxembourg House of Technology marketing chief Manon Loison shares her favourite read.

She writes:

“Despite criticism of the scientific reliability, one of my favorite bedside books is “Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ”, by Daniel Goleman.

With this book, Goleman guides the reader through the different sides and components of Emotional Intelligence, defined as the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions, those of others, and ultimately to manage those emotions to adapt to any situation. Goleman explains how Emotional Intelligence impacts our well-being and success in life, in work, in social relationships, etc... Thanks to this book, you’ll ask yourself a simple but fundamental question: does being empathic mean being smart?”
