Summary: The best resource available on "emotional intelligence"
Comment: We are all sick and tired of the exaggerated claims of some of the ostensive "EI" "gurus" (prime example, Mr. D. Goleman, who, unbelievably, has made a bundle selling books that have zero substance). It was about time that real academics, like Matthews et al. informed the uniformed about how to go about determining whether a factor can be considered as an individual-difference predictor of behavior/performance/etc. As readers will see, there is nothing much to EI, beyond that which we already know from the personality and general intelligence literature. Fans of EI will be let down; however, it is time that they let go of this mirage called EI and start to see the world from a more pragmatic perspective

Summary: It was just about time
Comment: As a Phd student in this field I find that although many words have been shed on that matter, few have bothered to take upon themselves the task of putting an order into this exciting yet very ambiguous concept.
This book, which I was eager to buy and read hoping for an updated and comprehensive review has far exceeded my expectations. To put it in simple words, the authors chose the prominent reserches to focus on, and they reviewd them in a critical manner. That sets the first milestone in the route of turning EI from an exciting yet evasive concept into a scientific discipline.
This book is therefore a must for both the scholarly and the popular reader who wish to expose themselves to what will soon become the cornerstone of this field.
