Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard

I noticed that my alma mater, the Harvard Business School, started publishing articles and books in 2001 on emotional intelligence in leadership. I recommend to you my favorite of HBS Press, Primal Leadership: Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence, by Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, and Annie McKee.; A shorter, good publication from HBS Press is: "Best of HBR on Leadership: Emotionally Intelligent Leadership" - A Harvard Business Review Collection of 3 articles by Daniel Goleman.

To order, contact the Harvard Business School Press.

If you are concerned with retention, read this book.

Harvard obviously sees the value of EI for leaders.

Harvard Business School Endorses the Importance of Emotional Intelligence


"Breaking Night reads more like an adventure story than an addiction-morality tale. Liz Murray's grandfathers were abusive alcohols who made the streets seem safer than home.

Liz Murray was saved by school. Liz and her older sister Lisa were raised in abject poverty in the Bronx.

Far from some maudlin sob story about a hard knock life, the author relays her story simply and effectively. Liz was often hungry.
