3. What is Emotion?
In its most literal sense, the Oxford English
Dictionary defines emotion as “any agitation or
disturbance of mind, feeling, passion; any
vehement or excited mental state.”
"I take emotion to refer to a feeling and its
distinctive thoughts, psychological and biological
states, and range of propensities to act." Daniel
Goalman

5. • Emotional intelligence (EI) is defined as the
capacity to perceive, use, understand,
manage, and handle emotions.
• People with high emotional intelligence can
recognize their own emotions and those of
others.
• Although the term first appeared in 1964
when it was first mentioned by Michael
Beldoch, it gained popularity in the 1995
bestselling book Emotional Intelligence by
science journalist Daniel Goleman.

7. • In one of the most telling discoveries about emotions of the last
decade, LeDoux’s work revealed how the architecture of the brain
gives the amygdala a privileged position as an emotional sentinel,
able to hijack the brain.
• His research has shown that sensory signals from eye or ear travel
first in the brain to the thalamus, and then across a single synapse to
the amygdala; a second signal from the
• thalamus is routed to the neocortex the thinking brain.
• This branching allows the amygdala to begin to respond before the
neocortex, which mulls information through several levels of brain
circuits before it fully perceives and finally initiates its more finely
tailored response.
8. Those feelings that take the direct route through
the amygdala include our most primitive and
potent; this circuit does much to explain the power
of emotion to overwhelm rationality.

• Started by psychologist Walter Mischel during the 1960s at a
preschool on the Stanford University campus and involving
mainly children of Stanford faculty, graduate students, and
other employees, the study tracked down the four-year-olds as
they were graduating from high school
23. • Those who had resisted temptation at four were now, as
adolescents, more socially qualified: personally effective, self-
assertive, and better able to cope with the frustrations of life.
They were less likely to go to pieces, freeze, or regress under
stress, or become rattled and disorganized when pressured; they
embraced challenges and pursued them instead of giving up
even in the face of difficulties; they were self-reliant and
confident, trustworthy and dependable; and they took initiative
and plunged into projects.
