This second edition maintains a balance between scientific rigor and accessibility, making it suitable for both specialists and non-specialists alike. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners across various fields, extending beyond social psychology to include areas such as education, clinical psychology, and organizational training.
Since the first edition was published in 2001, the field of emotional intelligence has evolved significantly. New researchers have emerged, contributing to a deeper understanding of EI, while advancements in measurement techniques have provided insights into the distinctiveness and utility of various EI assessments. The book highlights the growing importance of emotional intelligence in today's society and discusses the increasing body of research focused on teaching EI in diverse settings, including schools and workplaces.
The second edition not only presents the latest findings on the assessment and application of emotional intelligence but also expands its focus to include a broader range of EI interventions. By incorporating the most current research, the authors aim to enhance the reader's understanding of how emotional intelligence can be effectively cultivated and applied in everyday situations, ultimately benefiting individuals and organizations alike.

"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." - David G. Myers, John Dirk Werkman Professor of Psychology, Hope College
"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." - Carol Gohm, Professor of Psychology, University of Mississippi
