This was pre-cell phone and Wi-Fi, and we were in the mountains. I began praying hard, hoping a ranger would find us. My husband is really great at a lot of things, but his geospatial skills are lacking.?
The four of us shared our observations about what we should do and managed to get back to the car.?

From the publisher:
"Drawing on groundbreaking brain and behavioral research, author Daniel Goleman shows the factors at work when people of high IQ flounder and those of modest IQ do surprisingly well. These factors, which include self-awareness, self-discipline, and empathy, add up to a different way of being smart—and they aren’t fixed at birth. Although shaped by childhood experiences, emotional intelligence can be nurtured and strengthened throughout our adulthood—with immediate benefits to our health, our relationships, and our work."
