Merve Emre on Emotional Intelligence as Corporate Control

It’s been 25 years since the concept of emotional intelligence exploded onto the scene. Cultural critic Merve Emre makes a bold case that in the wrong hands, it can be used to exploit people.

You can listen to them right here in the WorkLife feed, or by following ReThinking with Adam Grant wherever you are right now.
