Further reading

A number of books about emotional intelligence have been published over the last few years. Some are very academic, precise and research-based; others are much more personal, often based on the experiences of the writer, and try to provide practical perspectives. Both have their value if you want to expand your knowledge of EI and get more information on the ideas contained in this book.
