TEDTalks : Daniel Goleman, Why Aren't We All Good Samaritans?
Daniel Goleman brought the concept of "EI" to prominence as an alternative to more traditional measures of IQ with his mega-best-seller Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ - and since the publication of that book, conferences and academic institutes have sprung up dedicated to the idea. In this TEDTalk, Goleman explores the question of why we aren't more compassionate more of the time. Self-absorption, the self/other dichotomy, speed dating, and "virtuous T-shirts" figure into the answer. "It's our empathy, it's our tuning in which separates us from Machiavellians or sociopaths," says Goleman
