Emotional Intelligence in Everyday Life
Joseph Ciarrochi · 2001

👍 Worth It
With John Mayer — one of the original architects of the EQ construct — as a co-editor and contributors drawn from the top of the field, this is the most academically credible EQ volume in this set. It is genuinely dense reading, so casual readers should know what they are getting into, but anyone who wants to understand what the science actually says about emotional intelligence will find it indispensable.
