I work as a clinical psychologist in private practice. It is with great pleasure I recommend this book on emotional intelligence. This book deals with the topic in a highly relevant and useful way with it's chapters on mental health, intimate relationships and measuring emotional intelligence. Finally such information is written in a clear format which enables it to be not only used by clinicians but can also be recommended to clients.

This book was an excellent read, and highly informative. It made it clear how emotional intelligence could be used to improve just about every aspect of everyday life, including work, family, education, and health. What I liked most about the book was that it was based on scientific research, yet it was easy to read and understand. I highly recommend it!

This is a superb book, an excellent read. I found the chapters on emotional intelligence and relationships to be particularly interesting and useful. the chapters relating emotional intelligence to health and wealth building were also quite useful. I strongly recommend the book to anybody.

In the section 'Rationale for this Book': "These essays adress: Why are experts now saying EI exists? What is the concept and what does it mean? Why does..." Although there is a part with the title "Applications of EI...", this book contains only definitions, relationships between definitions and analyses.

I did not find anything in this book that I could apply to improve my EI. Although the title of the 10th chapter is "Applied EI..." it is just a short section about consequences, effects on health, a summary and a concrete small example. My key point would have been this: "Learn to Regulate Our Emotions for Better Health", but it is one page long. Probably I misunderstood the title and the description.
