Howard Gardner's brilliant conception of individual competence is changing the face of education today. In the ten years since the publication of his seminal Frames of Mind , thousands of educators, parents, and researchers have explored the practical implications of Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory—the powerful notion that there are separate human capacities, ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in understanding oneself. Multiple Intelligences: The Theory in Practice brings together previously published and original work by Gardner and his colleagues at Project Zero to provide a coherent picture of what we have learned about the educational applications of MI theory from projects in schools and formal research over the last decade.

Synthesizing the latest research and theory with compelling narratives and case vignettes, this book explores the development of emotional competence in school-age children and young adolescents. Saarni examines the formation of eight key emotional skills in relation to processes of self-understanding, socialization, and cognitive growth. The cultural and gender context of emotional experience is emphasized, and the role of moral disposition and other individual differences is considered. Tracing the connections between emotional competence, interpersonal relationships, and resilience in the face of stress, the book also explores why and what happens when development is delayed.

Tras el éxito fulgurante de Inteligencia emocional , un fenómeno editorial con más de 5 millones de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo, Daniel Goleman emprende ahora una revolucionaria síntesis de los últimos descubrimientos en biología y ciencias del cerebro. Inteligencia social revela que estamos programados para conectar con los demás y que nuestras relaciones tienen un impacto muy profundo en nuestras vidas. El trato diario con nuestros progenitores, parejas, jefes, amigos, e incluso extraños, conforma nuestro cerebro y afecta a todas las células de nuestro cuerpo hasta el nivel de los genes. El hallazgo fundamental que Goleman aporta, con su habitual amenidad y rigor, es que estamos diseñados para ser sociables, y que participamos constantemente en un ballet neuronal que nos conecta, de cerebro a cerebro, con quienes nos rodean. Las relaciones interpersonales poseen un impacto biológico de largo alcance porque afectan a las hormonas que regulan tanto nuestro corazón como nuestro sistema inmunológico, de modo que las buenas relaciones actúan como vitaminas, y las malas, como venenos. Goleman explica la sorprendente fiabilidad de nuestras primeras impresiones, explora el carisma, afronta la complejidad de la atracción sexual; describe también el lado oscuro de la inteligencia social, desde el narcisismo al maquiavelismo y la psicopatía. ¿Existe una manera de educar a nuestros hijos para que sean felices? ¿Cuál es la base de un matrimonio creativo? ¿Cómo pueden los empresarios y los maestros instruir a quienes les siguen? ¿Cómo lograr que grupos divididos por prejuicios y odios lleguen a vivir en paz? El autor comparte sus investigaciones con una gran convicción: los humanos tenemos una predisposición natural para la empatía, la cooperación y el altruismo. Lo único que necesitamos es desarrollar la inteligencia social.
