If you are doing mindfulness meditation, you are doing it with your ability to attend to the moment.

If you do a practice and train your attention to hover in the present, then you will build the internal capacity to do that as needed - at will and voluntarily.

From Daniel Goleman

When I say manage emotions, I only mean the really distressing, incapacitating emotions. Feeling emotions is what makes life rich. You need your passions.

From Daniel Goleman

People tend to become more emotionally intelligent as they age and mature.

From Daniel Goleman

From Daniel Goleman

There is zero correlation between IQ and emotional empathy... They're controlled by different parts of the brain.

From Daniel Goleman

Buying phosphate-free soap allows you to say, 'My detergent doesn't have the harsh chemicals others do.' The question is, how are you washing with it? The very worst thing for the Earth about detergent is that we heat water to use it.

From Daniel Goleman

Once shoppers become empowered, we will facilitate industries thinking in completely new terms; for example, making products that are totally biodegradable.

From Daniel Goleman

The industrial processes in use today were developed at a time when no one had to consider what the environmental impact was. Who cared? But making ecological concerns matter to a company's bottom line will help it do the research and development that will reinvent everything we buy.

From Daniel Goleman

Making choices that improve things for all of us on the planet is an act of compassion, a simple act we can do any time we go shopping.
