En su bestseller Inteligencia emocional, Daniel Goleman revolucionó la forma como concebimos la inteligencia. Ahora, revela métodos prácticos para utilizar estos recursos internos y alcanzar un estado óptimo de alto rendimiento y satisfacción. Existen momentos en los que alcanzamos el máximo provecho: un deportista juega un partido perfecto, una empresa tiene un trimestre con ganancias únicas… pero estos momentos suelen ser esquivos, y por cada día asombroso, podemos tener cien días normales o insatisfactorios. En Óptimo, Daniel Goleman y Cary Cherniss revelan cómo la inteligencia emocional puede ayudarnos a tener un gran día, todos los días. Explican cómo alcanzar de una manera realista la satisfacción, trabajando de manera constante en un nivel óptimo. Basados en la investigación sobre cómo cientos de personas construyen la arquitectura interna de un buen día productivo, los autores describen de qué manera se siente un estado óptimo y muestran cómo la inteligencia emocional es la clave para nuestro mejor rendimiento personal o laboral. Óptimo es la culminación de décadas de descubrimientos científicos relacionados con la inteligencia emocional. En este libro, encontrarás las claves para aplicarla de manera efectiva.

00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:13.880
Hello everyone and welcome to ideas for
a better life. I am Eugenio Valla
2
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.879
Ruiz, reader, hard- working, writer and lover of personal development.
3
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:24.280
In today' s episode we will
talk about the Best Book, a book
4
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:30.079
written by Daniel Goleman and Kary Chernis. Remember daniel Daniel Goleman is the person
5
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.520
who wrote the best seller Emotional intelligence, which now comes back to load with
6
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.119
a similar book, but with a
slightly different focus. Let' s see
7
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:46.840
your main ideas. Many people seek
to achieve what the book calls. An
8
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:52.479
optimal State, a State that we
know exists, because that is when we
9
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:58.759
have the feeling of being effective,
of moving forward, of flowing effortlessly throughout
10
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.120
the day. A state in which
we are able to perform to the maximum
11
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:11.200
for long periods of time, without
concentrated distractions, but at the same time
12
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.959
relaxed and, moreover, being creative. And there are several studies that show
13
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:22.239
how people working in that optimal state
are up to five times more productive than
14
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.879
at their usual level of performance.
This means, therefore, that finding that
15
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.480
optimal State will help you feel better, to work better and, as a
16
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:40.799
final consequence, to get better results. So, on that basis, the
17
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:46.719
book' s thesis is that achieving
and maintaining that state of flux, that
18
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:52.920
optimal state constantly is not something that
is reserved for elite athletes or high-
19
00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:00.239
performance professionals, top executives, etcetera. It is something that is within anyone
20
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.239
' s grasp the basis for reaching
that state is emotional intelligence. You know
21
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:13.919
the control of one' s emotions
and the understanding and empathy with the emotions
22
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:19.120
of others. And this works,
of course, at work. It is
23
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.360
more than proven that, for example, vendors with high emotional intelligence sell much
24
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:29.240
more because simply because they are able
to generate better interaction with their customers.
25
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.520
But it doesn' t just work
at work. It also works outside of
26
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:39.479
work, because people who have a
high level of emotional intelligence are actually also
27
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.439
more prepared to manage stress and that
translates into better health and better relationships.
28
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.439
So you need more emotional intelligence to
do more at work. Yes, but
29
00:02:53.520 --> 00:03:00.560
also to be able to live more
and to live better. In addition to
30
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.520
emotional intelligence, we can also reach
that optimal state, that state of flow,
31
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.400
through the full attention of mindfulness,
the famous mindfulness that is full attention,
32
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:16.360
is to tune in with the present
moment, is to minimize distractions,
33
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:23.039
to commit ourselves to the task we
are doing, whatever it is, to
34
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.439
be in what we are doing.
And that, today it fails us and
35
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:32.199
it fails us very much, because
we live surrounded by distractions, with an
36
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:38.280
economy and with an economic model that
goes for our attention, also for our
37
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.719
money, but above all for our
attention. When we get to that state
38
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.360
where we' re really doing what
we' re doing, and we'
39
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.159
re deeply committed to the tasks and
we' re focused and we avoid distracting
40
00:03:52.159 --> 00:04:00.039
ourselves. Neuroscience calls that moment neuronal
harmony. It' s a time when
41
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:06.919
the circuits of our brain are fully
aligned with an activity and that causes irrelevant
42
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:15.039
thoughts, that the external interferences we
all have fade away, obviously leading us
43
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.439
to that state of flow, to
that optimal state, and full attention you
44
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.360
know that it' s something that
can be trained, is something that we
45
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:30.600
can improve over time, for example, by focusing on your breathing. That
46
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.920
exercise I' m not going to
call it or exercise, that simple activity.
47
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:43.639
By focusing on your breathing for ten
fifteen minutes a day, it already
48
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:49.639
improves your ability to concentrate and stabilizes
your emotional responses, already allowing you to
49
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:54.879
have a clearer state of mind.
It allows you to be more focused.
50
00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.079
That' s why great athletes meditate. That' s why the great executives
51
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:06.959
meditate because all those skills or all
those benefits that you get by practicing full
52
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:11.000
attention are going to be very important. They are important in sport, they
53
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:17.759
are important at work, but they
are also important in life in general in
54
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:24.040
the professional world. Emotional intelligence,
moreover, is a characteristic that is increasingly
55
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:29.319
recognized. Of course it' s
very important that you know how to do
56
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:33.839
your job. The technical aspect is
obvious, but it is almost more important
57
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:40.439
that you know yourself that you manage
your emotions, that you show empathy,
58
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:46.199
that you also know how to manage
relationships with other people, especially when there
59
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.680
is an emergency moment, a moment
of crisis within a company. And that
60
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:56.439
' s why companies are increasingly looking
at these kinds of profiles, at these
61
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.720
kinds of things, especially when they' re good looking for someone who may
62
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:08.160
be called to lead teams or make
important decisions, because leaders who are emotionally
63
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:15.360
intelligent are going to generate more satisfied
employees, more satisfied employees who are going
64
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.360
to stay in the company longer and
who are going to contribute to creating a
65
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:25.279
much more enjoyable environment, where everyone
is going to end up being more productive.
66
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.480
Obviously, they do it out of
interest. Don' t think it
67
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.399
' s something they' re interested
in. Emotional intelligence is a matter of
68
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:39.519
pure performance but well, it also
helps you live better. So, if
69
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.759
emotional intelligence is something so important,
the thesis of the book. What the
70
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:48.839
book wonders is why most companies are
not yet training their employees in that field,
71
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:55.839
why they continue to evaluate this type
of social skills with self- evaluations
72
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:05.360
or with it evaluations that are unreliable. Companies should not only hire candidates who
73
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:11.600
already have those emotional intelligence traits that
are already doing so, but also train
74
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:19.079
their current employees in this field.
But the same is true of schools or
75
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:27.319
colleges or universities. It would make
no sense if there was a subject called
76
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:33.600
emotional intelligence. It is not something
more important, more necessary than other contents
77
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:39.720
that fill the students' teaching hours
and that no one knows exactly what they
78
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.240
are for. I think exactly the
same with another subject, which is that
79
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.560
of financial education, which is not
discussed in this book, but we have
80
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.319
talked about it in other previous chapters. Money is something we use every day,
81
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:57.560
every hour, and no one teaches
us how to manage it from the
82
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.439
traditional education system. But for not
teaching us, it doesn' t even
83
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.720
teach us how to make the tax
return. The income statement, at least
84
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:13.199
here in Spain, is the least
rare. Think about it is strange.
85
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.079
Obviously, as a company, you' re interested in hiring someone smart.
86
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.519
Of course, there is someone who
has a technical knowledge in your area.
87
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.879
That, of course, but you
are also interested in hiring someone who is
88
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:33.039
able to manage their emotions, who
is creative, who has a human background,
89
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:39.480
you don' t want or shouldn' t want to simply hire an
90
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.120
efficient robot, but many companies seem
to have not noticed this yet. That
91
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.159
is why the book crushes a lot
at this point and I personally believe that
92
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:54.000
it is absolutely right and eye in
the future this topic is going to be
93
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.960
even more important. We think it
is the other way around, but as
94
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.080
jobs become automated, more and more
people rely on innovations such as artificial intelligence.
95
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.480
In the end, that human touch, that ability to understand, to
96
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.039
connect at a deep level with other
people is what' s going to be
97
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.240
truly valuable, because it' s
what' s going to be truly irreplaceable,
98
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:28.639
that' s what' s going
to make a difference, and that
99
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:28.919
' s why I keep saying chapter
after chapter, episode after episode. That
100
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:35.320
is why personal development is so important
and that is why learning aspects of personal
101
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.840
development, such as emotional intelligence,
for example, through this book is so
102
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:46.879
important. So you already know that
emotional intelligence and full attention are essential to
103
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.720
find ourselves better as people, but
also to perform better in our work,
104
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:58.799
improve our productivity and feel more satisfied. So the idea that launched you is
105
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:05.639
to start learning about personal development,
about emotional intelligence, Start also to meditate,
106
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.320
to focus on the present, to
cultivate full attention and you will see
107
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:18.519
how little by little your life becomes
an even better experience. And now,
108
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.279
before I say goodbye, let me
remind you that you have at your disposal
109
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:28.200
a compilation of the best ideas about
personal development, told in a practical way,
110
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.919
as I always try to do in
my own four books. The titles
111
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.679

way, you' re asking me
a lot. The podcast doesn' t
119
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.000
close for a vacation. In fact, I' ll probably make more chapters,
120
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.440
because I' ll be on vacation
and I' ll have more time
121
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.320
to read, but well we'
ll see you in the next few weeks
122
