Eileen Rockefeller Biography

Eileen Rockefeller is the great-granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller and the youngest child of David and Peggy Rockefeller. She has lived an inspiring and multifaceted life and her memoir—Being a Rockefeller Becoming Myself—shares her stories with disarming vulnerability connecting the extraordinary experience of being a Rockefeller to the universal one of finding identity and purpose.
As a teenager Eileen lived on a farm-based school in the Adirondack Mountains sowing the seeds of her continuing passion for nature health and environmental sustainability. As a young woman an extraordinary meeting with Georgia O’Keefe helped give her the courage to pursue her own path.
Inspired by her mentor Norman Cousins (pioneering author on the healing powers of laughter) she played a pivotal role in legitimizing the field of mind/body connections in health and disease. She later introduced Daniel Goleman to the subject of his bestselling book Emotional Intelligence. Together with several others they founded the movement to teach social and emotional learning in schools.
