I love what you said about how "<em>Self aware­ness is absolutely key — if you do not under­stand how your think­ing and feel­ing is defin­ing your behav­iour you can­not make sus­tain­able per­sonal change (you will always slip back into habit­ual emo­tional patterns).</em>" This is so true and is one of the main messages I wish to have people understand. I'll be picking up your book so that I can read it and recommend it. Believe it or not, I read just about everything I recommend. I'm a big student of emotional intelligence, and leadership so I'm sure I'll enjoy reading it. Gil

I've been working with EI since 1999, and have been developing my own EI since way before then too! I work an approach to EI development called 'Applied emotional intelligence' - 'integrating thinking and feeling when choosing what to do'. Self awareness is absolutely key - if you do not understand how your thinking and feeling is defining your behaviour you cannot make sustainable personal change (you will always slip back into habitual emotional patterns). Can I add a book to your list of great EI books?? I co-authored the book 'Applied EI' with Tim Sparrow who developed the Applied EI approach, and we explore how attitudes underpin our emotional intelligence. An attitude is predominantly made up of feelings towards or away from something. Our fundamental attitudes are those towards ourselves, others and life. If we develop healthy attitudes we will naturally act with emotional intelligence, and create great outcomes in our lives! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Applied-Emotional-Intelligence-Importance-Developing/dp/0470032731/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271350325&sr=1-12 Best wishes Amanda

I didn't really understand much about EI but your article gave me a better understanding of it. I love the book carousel with your recommendations. I'm going to check some of these out now.
