"Success in college is not just a matter of luck nor is it all about being the smartest person in class. The way you approach college matters. The great news in this book is that you can learn how to be successful in college and in your life beyond college." Randy L. Swing, executive director, Association for Institutional Research

"We have been long aware that academic ability does not necessarily predict college success. This book provides a comprehensive look at emotional intelligence and the role it plays in student persistence. It takes these noncognitive aspects that we know really matter and puts them into a practical, user-friendly guide. This book is long overdue in higher education." Catherine Andersen, master trainer in emotional intelligence; professor and special assistant to the provost for student success, Gallaudet University

Aus dem Klappentext

The Student EQ Edge explores what defines emotional intelligence (EI), why it is different from one's intelligence quotient, research related to EI and outcomes, and how, for students, developing one s emotional intelligence can give them the insight and skills to achieve academic and personal success. Grounded in the classic work of Dr. Reuven Bar-On, the book helps readers understand and develop emotional intelligence skills such as self-awarenenss, self-expression, interpersonal skills, decision making, and stress management. Designed as a dynamic resource, it uses real-life student stories and reflection and discussion questions to help readers move from conceptual understanding to action.
