You’ve apologised for things you didn’t plan to say.
You’ve doubled down on decisions you knew weren’t great.
You’ve felt emotions decide faster than your brain could catch up.

That gap is what Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman is really about.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why emotions jump into control before reasoning gets a vote

• How a lack of self-awareness quietly ruins good decisions

• What empathy looks like when you’re irritated, tired, or defensive

• How people who handle emotions well seem to get fewer things “wrong”

One line to leave you with: most damage isn’t caused by bad intent, it’s caused by unexamined emotion.
