Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Emotional Intelligence in Everyday Life
Joseph Ciarrochi, Joseph P. Forgas & John D. Mayer · 2013
83/100
👍 Worth It
Co-edited by John Mayer, one of the researchers who actually defined emotional intelligence, this is the real research behind the buzzword — applied to dating, work, parenting, even investing. It's more academic than cozy self-help, but if you want the science done right, this is it.
