[-1:-1.00]which amounts to saying it's good to be nice.
[-1:-2.00]But if it were that simple,
[-1:-3.00]the book would not be quite so interesting or its implications so controversial.
[-1:-4.00]This is no abstract investigation.
[-1:-5.00]Goleman is looking for methods to restore
[-1:-6.00]"politeness to our streets and caring in our community life".
[-1:-7.00]He sees practical applications everywhere
[-1:-8.00]for how companies should decide whom to hire,
[-1:-9.00]how couples can increase the odds that their marriages will last,
[-1:10.00]how parents should raise their children and how schools should teach them.
[-1:11.00]When street gangs substitute for families
[-1:12.00]and schoolyard insults end in knife attacks,
[-1:13.00]when more than half of marriages end in divorce,
[-1:14.00]when the majority of the children murdered in this country
[-1:15.00]are killed by their parents,

[-1:18.00]it suggests a demand for basic emotional education.
[-1:19.00]And it is here the arguments will break out.
[-1:20.00]While many researchers in this relatively new field
[-1:21.00]are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously,

[-1:23.00]"People have a variety of emotion,"
[-1:24.00]argues Harvard psychology professor Jerome Kagan.
[-1:25.00]"Some people handle anger well but can't handle fear.
[-1:26.00]Some people can't take joy. So each emotion has to be viewed differently.
[-1:27.00]" EQ is not the opposite of IQ.
[-1:28.00]Some people are blessed with a lot of both, but some with little of either.
[-1:29.00]What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together;
[-1:30.00]how one's ability to handle stress, for instance,
[-1:31.00]affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use.
[-1:32.00]Among the ingredients for success,
[-1:33.00]researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%;
[-1:34.00]the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.
