This emotional skill is a universally useful ability, but it has to be learned because we aren't wired that way.

I would say that IQ is the strongest predictor of which field you can get into and hold a job in, whether you can be an accountant, lawyer or nurse, for example.

People tend to become more emotionally intelligent as they age and mature.

So the ability to pause and to not act on that first impulse has become a crucial emotional skill in modern lives.

Societies can be sunk by the weight of buried ugliness.

At the time, as I recall, there was little interest among my professional colleagues.

The movement has come in reaction to the earlier out-of-proportion focus on negative states and dysfunction that typified psychology in the last century.

IQ can show whether you have the cognitive capacity to handle the information and complexities you face in a particular field.

The other thing is that if you rely solely on medication to manage depression or anxiety, for example, you have done nothing to train the mind, so that when you come off the medication, you are just as vulnerable to a relapse as though you had never taken the medication.

We've had a century of overemphasis on academic abilities as the key to success in life, but that is only part of the picture.

There has been on-again-off-again interest in the therapeutic uses of meditation for the last three decades - since a small circle of psychotherapists first became aware of (and themselves tried) meditation practice.

I experimented with many different varieties of meditation (that was the main topic of my book) and over the years settled into a Buddhist method called mindfulness, and most recently I have been working with Tibetan teachers.

The Buddhist view holds that such states are afflictive because they distort our perception of reality and they create an inner disequilibrium.

When it comes to exploring the mind in the framework of cognitive neuroscience, the maximal yield of data comes from integrating what a person experiences - the first person - with what the measurements show - the third person.

When I went on to write my next book, Working With Emotional Intelligence, I wanted to make a business case that the best performers were those people strong in these skills.
