Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Science of Emotional Intelligence
Simon George Taukeni · 2021
65/100
👎 Skip It
This is a legitimate academic compilation with genuine multidisciplinary breadth — EEG-based EI assessment, neuromarketing, humor and wellbeing, early childhood education — drawing on current empirical research. The problem is that it is squarely written for researchers and practitioners, not for the general self-help reader its catalog placement implies. If you are a graduate student or professional in psychology, education, or neuroscience, it may be useful; everyone else should look elsewhere.
