About Daniel Goleman

Daniel Goleman is an internationally known psychologist who reported on the brain and behavioral sciences for The New York Times for many years. Daniel Goleman’s best-known book, Emotional Intelligence, has been published in 40 languages and became a worldwide best-seller. His articles on leadership are in Harvard Business Review’s “top must-reads.” His latest book, Ecological Intelligence argues that a coming wave of information systems will create marketplace transparency about the true ecological impacts of consumer products. This ecological awareness will create a market-driven mechanism that rewards companies best able to innovate and reinvent, making sustainability central to business strategy. TIME Magazine featured Ecological Intelligence on its cover as one of “Ten Ideas Changing Our World.”

 Transitioning To Green is a professional association dedicated to helping individuals and organizations make the transition to the new green economy. Spearheaded by Jeana Wirtenberg, Ph.D., co-founder of the Institute for Sustainable Enterprise and lead author of The Sustainable Enterprise Fieldbook: When It all Comes Together.
