“Perhaps most importantly, emotional intelligence enables
the skills that help us create conditions for our own sustainable happiness.
Matthieu Ricard defines happiness as ‘a deep sense of flourishing that arises
from an exceptionally healthy mind … not a mere pleasurable feeling, a fleeting
emotion, or a mood, but an optimal state of being.’ And that optimal state of
being is ‘a profound emotional balance struck by a subtle understanding of how
the mind functions.’”
