Daniel Goleman - Educational Innovations

Educational Innovations

Goleman has published a series of dialogues with More Than Sound Productions entitled "Wired to Connect" on the applications of social intelligence. Those already published include:

  • Psychiatrist Daniel J. Siegel
  • Renowned brain researcher Richard Davidson
  • Expert on the social and economic effects of Internet technologies Clay Shirky
  • Film director and Educational innovator George Lucas
  • World-renown psychologist on emotions Paul Ekman

A topic of his discussion with Ekman was how to empathize with others, and how we can understand other's emotions as well as our own. Goleman suggests that in light of tragedies like Hurricane Katrina, we must learn how to empathize with others in order to help them. Goleman and Ekman are both contributors to Greater Good magazine, Greater Good Science Center, University of California, Berkeley.

Famous quotes containing the words educational and/or innovations:

    If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.
    Maria Montessori (1870–1952)

    Great innovations should not be forced on slender majorities.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
