This book focuses on developing our emotional intelligence by exploring our thinking, emotions, what we say, and how we act, towards supporting personal growth and development, while refuelling our emotional “tank”. Challenging experiences can be transformational, and this book is written for those who want to grow through life’s successes and struggles but might not know where to start. Self-awareness, resilience, empathy, compassion fatigue, grief and loss, rejection, spiritual well-being, and managing our emotions are presented within these pages, and are important skills which we need to succeed and grow. The book is full of original insights, heart-warming stories, ideas, and practical activities that will cheer readers on in their personal development adventure. It demystifies emotional intelligence by explaining it in everyday language, yet has a strong theoretical underpinning making it useful for individuals, as well as an academic educational resource. It is designed to be used by an independent reader or, equally, for the purpose of supplementing a professional development course or workshop.

The volume provides analyses of contemporary EI theories and measurement tools, common principles and barriers in effective EI and SEL programming, typical and atypical developmental considerations, and higher-level institutional and policy implications.

In the last two and a half decades, the concept of Emotional Intelligence has not only gained acceptance in the scientific community, but exploded all over the place, becoming a popular term used (and abused) by everyone. As the concept matured, two things happened: On one hand, more and more empirical evidence supported the concept's applicability in a broad range of contexts and settings. On the other hand, the evidence put the early expectation of the concept in perspective, humbling pioneering claims of EI being the concept accounting for everything that traditional concepts (like intelligence, personality etc.) did not. Emotional intelligence has come of age, and as evidence explores new frontiers, practitioners explore the utility of EI-based intervention programs. So -- what's new with Emotional Intelligence? This is exactly the aim of this book -- to provide readers interested in this new, promising concept, an updated view of research, and practice based on various models and views of the concept focusing on three fields in which progress seems to be most exciting: Psychophysiology and health, education and work and organisational life. Authors from around the world offer their diverse views, rich palettes of application and practice and raise questions that will lead future research and add to our understanding of the world.

Sorting out the scientific facts from the unsupported hype about emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence (or EI)—the ability to perceive, regulate, and communicate emotions, to understand emotions in ourselves and others—has been the subject of best-selling books, magazine cover stories, and countless media mentions. It has been touted as a solution for problems ranging from relationship issues to the inadequacies of local schools. But the media hype has far outpaced the scientific research on emotional intelligence. In What We Know about Emotional Intelligence, three experts who are actively involved in research into EI offer a state-of-the-art account of EI in theory and practice. They tell us what we know about EI based not on anecdote or wishful thinking but on science. What We Know about Emotional Intelligence looks at current knowledge about EI with the goal of translating it into practical recommendations in work, school, social, and psychological contexts.

Since the release of the very successful first edition in 2001, the field of emotional intelligence has grown in sophistication and importance. Many new and talented researchers have come into the field and techniques in EI measurement have dramatically increased so that we now know much more about the distinctiveness and utility of the different EI measures. There has also been a dramatic upswing in research that looks at how to teach EI in schools, organizations, and families. In this second edition, leaders in the field present the most up-to-date research on the assessment and use of the emotional intelligence construct. Importantly, this edition expands on the previous by providing greater coverage of emotional intelligence interventions. As with the first edition, this second edition is both scientifically rigorous, yet highly readable and accessible to a non-specialist audience. It will therefore be of value to researchers and practitioners in many disciplines beyond social psychology, including areas of basic research, cognition and emotion, organizational selection, organizational training, education, clinical psychology, and development psychology.

"This book looks at the topic of emotional intelligence from a variety of perspectives, including adolescence, bullying, intimate relationships, and more. Chapter One describes the origin of the concept of emotional intelligence, the change and evolution of emotional intelligence throughout childhood and adolescence, and reviews published findings on the relationship of emotional intelligence with socio-emotional adjustment and bullying behavior. Chapter Two analyzes the role that emotional intelligence might play in establishing effective, stable, healthy, and happy intimate relationships. The third chapter provides a synthesized historical overview of the notion of emotions and the nature of their relationship to the rational mind and analyzes how concepts of "rational" and "emotional" can co-exist. Following this, the fourth chapter explores how the research area of emotional intelligence can be leveraged to prevent bullying victimization and peer aggression. Chapter Five deals with the practical implications of emotional intelligence for work and health. Chapter Six details how levels of physical activity correlate with emotional intelligence in adolescents. Lastly, the final chapter addresses the question of whether self-compassion can predict future anxiety and depression"--
