Optimal, by the bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman, and Cary Cherniss, reveals practical methods for applying the principles of emotional intelligence (EI) to more readily enter an optimal state of high performance and satisfaction. The book offers a roadmap to being at your best every day.

There are moments when we achieve peak performanceβ€”an athlete plays a perfect game, or a business experiences a quarter with once-in-a-lifetime profits. But these moments are often fleeting, and 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, Goleman and Cherniss reveal how emotional intelligence can help us have a great day, any day. They explain how to set a realistic, attainable goal of feeling satisfied that you've had a productive day, allowing you to consistently work at your 'optimal' level. Based on research into how hundreds of people build the inner architecture of having a good day, they outline what an optimal state feels like and show how emotional intelligence holds the key to our best performance.

Optimal is the culmination of decades of scientific discoveries concerning emotional intelligence. Enhanced emotional intelligence pays off in improved engagement, productivity, and more satisfying days. In this book, you'll find the keys to competence in emotional intelligence and practical methods for applying this skill set more readily. It will equip you to become a highly effective leader and enable you to build an organisational culture that empowers workers to sustain high performance.
