13 Principles For Connecting Well With Others
In Daniel Goleman's best selling book Social Intelligence he concludes that the greatest successes in life aren't usually the most talented or brain smart – the most successful are very good at communicating and connecting with people (socially intelligent).

When you hear the word "greatness," certain people probably spring to mind: Michael Jordan, Albert Einstein, Mother Teresa. Think a bit harder and you'll realize you know a few real-life "greats" as well. Perhaps your officemate is a computer whiz or a teacher at your child's school is a genius at inspiring kids. Heck, maybe you have some hidden talent, too. If only you'd been born with that elusive "greatness gene" or raised by superachieving parents or accepted to an Ivy League college, your life would be soooo much better...right?
