'Actionable tools and insights that are essential to unlocking your potential' Oscar Munoz
former CEO of United Airlines In his groundbreaking bestseller Emotional Intelligence
Daniel Goleman revolutionized how we think about intelligence. Now he reveals practical
methods for using these inner resources to more readily enter an optimal state of high
performance and satisfaction. 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 for every
amazing day we may have a hundred ordinary and even unsatisfying ones. Fulfilment 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
productive day any day - to consistently work at your 'optimal' level. Based on decades of
research on 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 will equip you to become a highly effective leader and enable
you to build an organizational culture that empowers workers to sustain high performance
