Goleman and emotional intelligence: creativity in everyone
Goleman's latest book "Social Intelligence" that I mentioned a few times just been published by Odile Jacob http://www.amazon.fr/Cultiver-lIntelligence-Relationnelle -Goleman-Daniel/dp/2221099869 I prefer his book on emotional intelligence, but this book has the merit of reinforcing the theory of Nobel Prize winner Eric Kandel on the so-called biological determinism: human beings like the sea hares have a neuroplasticity that open channels the changes. Kandel's work proves that man can learn and modify the biological part of our body (FC's famous study on the hippocampus of London taxi drivers). Nancy Andreasen, in his book "Creating Brain" suggests that too on page 146. In brief, psycho-education is also very effective and low according to some scientists, affect the metabolism of serotonin in the brain.
Goleman in a somewhat disjointed style gives ample evidence as to the eminently social character of human beings (and animals!) And confirms the theses of Cacioppo and Berntson on social neuroscience introduced there within 20 years The man has need of man, good relationships that enrich us and give us health, from childhood to adulthood.
I seem to evoke clichés but when we see the loneliness of patients facing, alone, to their mental suffering, we can ask questions on family background, personal or professional who makes us healthy body and mind or one that we poisons ...
Within the Philadelphia Project, I gradually found that Goleman, Barber and Gardner are right: whatever the individual and the more melancholic or manic needs a stimulating environment, tolerant, humane and above all brotherly and also "free". There is no association or dues, no rules or codes, or flowchart if it is that of "skills".
Children as adults need to feel confident, free and respected. Two types of intelligences often ignored for a long time that I mentioned on this blog are not sufficiently valued in France: The personal intelligence (Introspective and social) and less consensual but equally important, moral intelligence (P67 of Intelligence Reframed by Howard Gardner) or as called Stefan Einhorn ("The art of being good"), intelligence ethics .
This environment is a social creation, slow but steady and the individual needs of each other, we are dependent and is not a "fault" but an empathy and humanity.
drugs and psycho-education can help but they are means, not an end. The final design is the logos, what will I do with my life? What have I done? Did that make sense? Is what I live for myself or as to loved ones and even others? And especially how the mental suffering and bipolarity can help me get my mind and improve social and ethical? What is this creativity (but is this good for creativity?) That is within my reach?
To read in English on the page Kandel especially from "Residency training in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, The" on the site of the Nobel Prize:
