"Emotional intelligence" is what interests Gabriele Frohlich: the connection between the brain and the heart.
As a medical doctor, she studied physiology, as a therapist she studied the psyche. She has now come to believe that emotional intelligence is the road not only to individual healing, but that it also has the power to effect changes on a global level.
As a child, Frohlich wanted to be a missionary; as a teenager, a doctor working in Third World countries. She trained at FU Medical School in Berlin but rapidly became disillusioned with the approach she was expected to adopt.
