Seeking truth together
Bell Hooks’ book “The Will to Change” (2005) highlights cultural sickness and the need for empathy, responsibility, and a will to change to address it. She contrasts domination with partnership, shame with self-esteem, fear with courage, and rage with nonviolence in the context of a patriarchal society. Hooks calls for a shift towards empathy, responsibility, and change.
Emotional intelligence, as described by Daniel Goleman, encompasses self-awareness, self-management, self-motivation, social awareness, and relationship management. It is a complex skill affected by various factors, but can be improved through mindfulness, empathy, and dedication to healthy relationships. Developing empathy is a crucial step towards enhancing emotional intelligence.
