<p>"The 2nd edition of <em>Emotional Intelligence in Everyday Life</em> is a must-read for serious scholars of emotional intelligence and those who seek to apply what we currently know about this construct. Synthesizing cutting-edge research on emotional intelligence, the chapters in this edited volume present the state-of-the-science of emotional intelligence and its application in diverse areas, in a lively, accessible manner. Emotions are an integral and central component of human functioning and affairs; this important book enlightens us as to the role of emotions and their management in everyday life." - <strong>Jennifer M. George</strong>, <em>Mary Gibbs Jones Professor of Management and Professor of Psychology, Rice University</em></p><p> "What I hoped for--and found in this marvelous book--is help in separating the 'emotional intelligence' wheat from the chaff. Starting with pioneer John Mayer's 'New Field Guide to Emotional Intelligence' and extending through its chapters on emotionally intelligent dating, marriage, education, working, and investing, this book offers a state-of-the-art overview of the concept, its misuses, and its valid applications." - <strong>David G. Myers</strong>, <em>John Dirk Werkman Professor of Psychology, Hope College</em></p><p> "This book is an important follow-up to the first edition. As a summary of the current state of emotional intelligence theory and research, it will be exceedingly useful to researchers. As a discussion of how emotional intelligence functions in a range of contexts--from marriage, to education, to the workplace--it will prove to be of enormous practical value." - <strong>Carol Gohm</strong>, <em>Professor of Psychology, University of Mississippi</em></p>
