Music, Meditation and Emotional Intelligence | Daniel Goleman

Meditation can change your mind, brain, and body. So can music. Psychologist Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence and Altered Traits sits down with a musician to probe how music and meditation might each access our brains to perhaps similar ends, and how we can use one to enhance the other. The program will be followed by a book signing.

This program is co-presented with the Omega Institute.

Daniel Goleman is an internationally known psychologist whose 1995 book Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times bestseller list for a year and a half, with more than five million copies in print worldwide in forty languages. Goleman has written books on topics including self-deception, creativity, transparency, meditation, social and emotional learning, ecoliteracy, and the ecological crisis. He currently co-directs the Consortium for Research on Emotional Intelligence in Organizations at Rutgers University. Goleman has organized a series of intensive conversations between the Dalai Lama and scientists, which resulted in the books Healing Emotions and Destructive Emotions. Goleman’s work as a science journalist has been recognized by the Washburn Award for science journalism, a Lifetime Career Award from the American Psychological Association, and his appointment as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

David Nichtern is a well-known composer, producer, and guitarist. He has won four Emmys and been nominated twice for a Grammy. He is also a senior teacher in the Shambhala Buddhist lineage.
