Most of us consider intelligence as a purely intellectual process, but recent research asks whether it doesn't combine both the head and the heart.

Specifically this research has demonstrated that there is a profound link between productivity, brain function, cardiovascular health and stress. Learning how to consciously change the quality of the internal signal from the heart to the brain enables individuals to maximize cortical function. This enhances clarity, creativity, innovation, insight, and Emotional Intelligence, which are the key factors determining an individual's personal performance.

Research has shown that people with high Emotional Intelligence (EI) tend to do better in life than those with low EI, even if their traditional IQ scores are lower.

This has been attributed to two things.

First, people with high EI scores show more innovation and creativity in problem solving.
Second, people with high EI scores related to others better than someone with low EI scores. Emotional and mental flexibility is correlated to success, the results show. Emotional Intelligence doesn't mean being soft - it means being intelligent about emotions - a different way of being smart. Emotional intelligence is your ability to acquire and apply knowledge from your emotions and the emotions of others in order to be more successful and lead a more fulfilling life.


How Important Is Emotional Intelligence?
According to Daniel Goleman, author of the best seller,
Emotional Intelligence: Why it Can Matter More than IQ:

	Emotional Intelligence is twice as important as education and IQ combined in predicting success.
	Since World War II, the average IQ has risen 24 points, however, Emotional Intelligence has declined since then.
	When emotionally upset, people cannot remember, attend, learn, or make decisions clearly.
	Emotional Intelligence can be learned.
