About the Book:
Optimal by Daniel Goleman and Cary Cherniss explores how people can maintain high performance while also protecting their emotional well-being and avoiding burnout. Daniel Goleman, the bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence, is widely recognized for bringing emotional intelligence into mainstream discussion, while Cary Cherniss is a leading scholar of emotional intelligence and workplace psychology. The book begins by examining what helps individuals perform at their best and then expands these ideas to teams and organizations. Goleman and Cherniss explain how self-awareness, emotional balance, concentration, meaning, and emotional intelligence can contribute to consistently productive and satisfying days. Rather than focusing only on occasional moments of exceptional performance, the book encourages readers to develop sustainable habits and environments that support long-term excellence, effective leadership, stronger teamwork, and greater satisfaction.
