You may have heard about emotional intelligence, but have you really ever paused to think about where you fall on the spectrum, and how it\\u2019s influencing your relationships and place in the world? It actually impacts everything, from our family lives to our leadership abilities and careers. But it\\u2019s something we\\u2019re never taught in school and often pressured to ignore when it comes to \\u201cbeing professional.\\u201d Luckily, emotional intelligence is something we can work on and grow like many other parts of our lives\\u2014you probably won\\u2019t be surprised that meditation is one way to do just that. 

Personally, I have noticed that when I\\u2019m staying current with my meditation practice, I\\u2019m less easily triggered and more emotionally resilient, which allows me to be more present for my family and my work. This week on The Doctor\\u2019s Farmacy, I had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend Dan Goleman to talk about cultivating emotional intelligence through meditation, and why it matters more than you might think. 

Daniel is best known for his worldwide bestseller, \\u201cEmotional Intelligence,\\u201d and most recently co-authored the book, \\u201cAltered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain and Body.\\u201d Goleman has been ranked among the 25 most influential business leaders by several business publications including TIME and The Wall Street Journal. Apart from his writing on emotional intelligence, Goleman has written books on topics including self-deception, creativity, transparency, meditation, social and emotional learning, eco-literacy, and the ecological crisis.
