    In his book “Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ”, Daniel Goleman explores the importance of emotional skills in personal, professional, and social life. He argues that emotional intelligence (EI) is a crucial factor for success and well-being, often more influential than intelligence quotient (IQ). 
    Through examples, case studies, and scientific analysis, Goleman breaks down the components of EI and its impact on various aspects of life, challenging the traditional view that separates reason from emotion and emphasizing the need to integrate both in education and society.  
    Additionally, Goleman examines how emotional intelligence influences decision-making. According to him, emotions play a crucial role in the decision-making process, helping us quickly assess situations and make decisions based on past experiences. 
    For example, “emotional hijacking” is a phenomenon in which the amygdala, a part of the brain associated with emotions, takes control and triggers impulsive responses before the neocortex, the brain's rational part, can fully process the information. While useful in emergencies, this mechanism can lead to hasty decisions in modern contexts.  
    Goleman also discusses the importance of emotional intelligence in preventing antisocial and criminal behaviors. According to the author, many problematic behaviors, such as aggression and delinquency, are linked to low emotional intelligence. 
    People who lack emotional skills often struggle to manage their impulses and empathize with others, which can lead to destructive behaviors. Goleman cites studies showing that violent criminals often have a history of emotional neglect and lack of attention in childhood, emphasizing the importance of early emotional education.

    The poems written in this book were composed in over 20 different countries & different cities including Australia, Bali, Brooklyn, Budapest, Colombia, Cyprus, Greece, India, Israel, Istanbul, Los Angeles, Madagascar, Miami, New Zealand, Oklahoma, Portugal, Romania, Sydney, Tbilisi, Thailand, & The Hamptons & Ukraine. 
    I left a piece of my heart in each one of these places that I visited along with leaving a piece of my heart, with every one of those amazing souls that I met & connected with along the way, a lot of who I still know to this day. Those out there know who you are so I don’t need to name names. 
    I’ve been traveling the world for several decades, but I notice this most recent trip felt the most strange & I can’t just blame COVID for this post COVID feeling. See something has just fundamentally changed the whole global vibe is a bit off & I don’t just mean the obvious stuff.  
    Sure there’s the political chaos with right & left becoming increasingly polarized which is absolutely heartbreaking because if we put our differences aside we’d see we have more similarities than differences what I'm really talking about a fundamental change in the individual.  
    We're spending way more time with machines than we are spending with each other & a lot of the time we spend interacting with each other is done through machines instead of directly with each other. 
    It’s as if we are recognizing each other’s existences less & less. 
    On top of this a majority of people including myself seem tired “out of it” directionless & disassociated. Maybe I’m trippin’ but I can’t be imagining all these things, it can’t just be me.  
    So yeah, a lot more to say, but I’m just going to stop here & let the poems contained in this book do the explaining,
