Excellent book!!!

This was one of the best, if not the best, books I have read that deals with emotional intelligence and how to incorporate this into a classroom setting. It is a great book for teachers who wish to learn more about their students and their teaching methods. I will use this book in all my classes.

Should be on every teacher's shelf!

This is the best book I have read on emotional intelligence, and should be mandatory reading for anyone who works with children. It's interesting, well-written, and easy to follow. If you buy 3 books this year, this one should be one of them! I am going to make it mandatory reading for my students.
