The concept of emotional intelligence (EI), which has steadily gained acceptance in psychology, seems particularly well suited to the work of school counselors and school psychologists who must constantly deal with troubled and underperforming students. To date, however, no book has systematically explained the theoretical and scientific foundations of emotional intelligence and integrated this information into the roles and functions of school counselors and other school personnel.
A collection of activities perfect for skill-building on self-awareness and control, empathy, social expertness, personal influence, mastery of vision and more.

The author shows how teachers can enable their students to acquire skills and knowledge, as well as to recognize the value of aesthetic experience, emotional literacy, and spiritual and moral response to literature in their own lives and in their communities.

There was a time when IQ was considered the leading determinant of
success. In this fascinating book, based on brain and behavioral
research, Daniel Goleman argues that our IQ-idolizing view of
intelligence is far too narrow. Instead, Goleman makes the case for
"emotional intelligence" being the strongest indicator of human
success. He defines emotional intelligence in terms of self-awareness,
altruism, personal motivation, empathy, and the ability to love and be
loved by friends, partners, and family members. People who possess high
emotional intelligence are the people who truly succeed in work as well
as play, building flourishing careers and lasting, meaningful
relationships. Because emotional intelligence isn't fixed at birth,
Goleman outlines how adults as well as parents of young children can
sow the seeds.
