'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
