There’s a reason emotional intelligence keeps showing up in research about what separates good leaders from great ones, successful relationships from failing ones, and people who navigate life smoothly from those who constantly hit walls.

My dad spent forty years at the same factory. When he retired, I expected him to relax and enjoy himself. Instead, he seemed lost. The structure he’d relied on had vanished, and for the first time in decades, he had to figure out how to fill his days. But then something shifted. He started volunteering ... Read more Read more ›

My grandparents lived through the war and stayed in their own home until their late eighties. They had plenty of habits that probably contributed to their longevity. Exercise. Good diet.

My father spent thirty years in sales management, getting passed over for promotions repeatedly, staying loyal to companies that weren’t loyal to him. For most of those years, he seemed fine.

I watched my father navigate corporate life for thirty years. He worked late, skipped vacations, and treated stress like a badge of honor. He climbed, sure, but he also got passed over for promotions repeatedly while younger, less experienced colleagues leapfrogged him. The lesson I took away wasn’t about working harder. It was about working ... Read more Read more ›

Singapore just made its first arrest for etomidate abuse.
