Emotional intelligence, as defined by the New York Times science journalist and psychologist, Daniel Goleman, in his best-selling book of the same name, includes self-control, zeal, persistence, the ability to motivate one's self and get along with others, all of which can be taught to most children. The purpose of the one-day program was to facilitate learning in a public forum among educators, scientists, artists, health and allied health professionals, cultural anthropologists, students and the educated public. Among the issues explored were: the role of the brain and environmental influences on behavior in the acquisition or lack thereof, of emotional intelligence. The panel discussions highlighted the interdisciplinary communication necessary when considering the many aspects of emotional intelligence. The esteemed presenters included: Drs. Kay Redfield Jamison, Joesph LeDoux, Antonio Damasio, Howard Gardner, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and dancer/arts educator Jacques d'Amboise.
