Emotional Education
We do fairly well educating the intellect (although some would even argue with that proposition). But we surely do not do well in educating our emotions. It is unfortunately true that many people are not emotionally skilled or informed; that many don't even know what they are feeling, or why they are feeling it, at any given time. If emotions are the mainspring of our behavior -- and I think they are -- then the more knowledge, familiarity and competence we have, the stronger, richer, and juicier and more satisfying our lives and well-being can be.
Daniel Goleman's work on Emotional Intelligence has been used to talk primarily about work and career success, an obvious but unfortunate focus. The concept of Emotional Intelligence applies to everything in our lives, including our relationships with ourselves. But his book was a breakthrough that dared to say out-loud maybe this was something to pay attention to.
It is.
by Erich Fromm
Highly recommended. This book has received consistent five-star recommendations from readers.
" Love in all its aspects is the subject of this work which has become a classic in its own time as the original "self-help" treatise from which developed new vistas of human understanding."
"This classic work has helped hundreds of thousands of readers develop their hidden capacities for love. "Penetrating insight . . . new vistas of understanding."--Cleveland Plain Dealer."

by Daniel P. Goleman
" In this fascinating book, based on brain and behavioral research, Daniel Goleman argues that our IQ-idolizing view of intelligence is far too narrow. Instead, Goleman makes the case for "emotional intelligence" being the strongest indicator of human success. He defines emotional intelligence in terms of self-awareness, altruism, personal motivation, empathy, and the ability to love and be loved by friends, partners, and family members."

Working with Emotional Intelligence
"This book explains what emotional intelligence is and why it counts more than IQ or expertise for excelling on the job. It details 12 personal competencies based on self-mastery (such as accurate self-assessment, self-control, initiative, and optimism) and 13 key relationship skills (such as service orientation, developing others, conflict management, and building bonds). Goleman includes many examples and anecdotes--from Fortune 500 companies to a nonprofit preschool--that show how these competencies lead to or thwart success."Amazon.com Review

by Martin E. P. Seligman
"Martin Seligman, a renowned psychologist and clinical researcher, has been studying optimists and pessimists for 25 years. Pessimists believe that bad events are their fault, will last a long time, and undermine everything. They feel helpless and may sink into depression, which is epidemic today, especially among youths. Optimists, on the other hand, believe that defeat is a temporary setback or a challenge--it doesn't knock them down. "Pessimism is escapable," asserts Seligman, by learning a new set of cognitive skills that will enable you to take charge, resist depression, and make yourself feel better and accomplish more."

An extremely popular, non-threatening book about one of our most important realities and feelings.

Among many other lessons of the heart, Leo Buscaglia reminds us: Love is open arms. If you close your arms about love you will find that you are left holding only yourself."

Passion and Reason : Making Sense of Our Emotions
by Richard S. Lazarus and Bernice N. Lazarus
This eye-opening look at the emotions of everyday life is the first book to move beyond clinical jargon and popular psychology to really explain why people feel the way they do.
"The emotions--love, hate, fear, pride--endow life with its meaning and color, yet they can also confuse and disable us through their power and complexity. The authors (a distinguished husband-wife team) of this volume clarify the psychological significance of the emotions by classifying the families of emotions, good and bad, and then probing the internal structure of each. Culture and biology combine to produce and shape the emotions; however, their ultimate meaning depends heavily upon one's personal history and attitudes."

Raising Your Emotional Intelligence:
A Practical Guide"It's not just psychologists who believe that emotional savvy determines personal success far more than an IQ test. Even corporations are hiring consultants to boost employees' Emotional Quotient (EQ), since it's been shown to directly affect teamwork, confidence, and productivity. Emotions can be allies, explains Dr. Jeanne Segal, helping us form loving and meaningful relationships, while making us well-rounded and profoundly intelligent beings. If repressed, they can be our enemies, oppressing us like well-armored dictators. This is a simultaneously confrontational and supportive book--challenging our cultural assumptions about feelings while offering realistic steps and lifestyle suggestions that lead to a higher EQ"
