Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
An Introduction to Emotional Intelligence
Lorraine Dacre Pool & Pamela Qualter · 2018
74/100
👍 Worth It
A genuinely credentialed academic primer from Wiley, edited by two real EI researchers and used as an actual university course text. It's evidence-based rather than pop-psychology fluff, which I respect, though the textbook format and pricing mean it's built for students, not a cozy weekend read. Solid choice if you want the real research behind the buzzword.
