"The Student EQ Edge is more relevant today than any other time in the history of our world. Our opportunity to succeed in the 21st century will depend a great deal on our emotional intelligence in our transformation to lifelong learning and our leadership ability. This book is the competitive edge." ?Stedman Graham, best-selling author, speaker, entrepreneur

"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

"As important as book learning is, we know that success in life is also dependent upon emotional intelligence. The authors of The Student EQ Edge define emotional intelligence and provide a road map for mastering emotional intelligence skills. I would highly recommend The Student EQ Edge to any high school or college student interested in knowing what it takes to be truly successful both inside and outside the classroom." ?Brad Beacham, executive director, Sigma Nu Fraternity, Inc.

"The Student EQ Edge is substantive, readable, and sure to appeal to students both in classes as well as those who are lucky to pick it up for personal development reading. The book is appealing because the research is understandable; numerous examples are integrated throughout, and readers are encouraged to apply what they are reading." ?Dennis Roberts, assistant vice president for faculty and student services for the Qatar Foundation

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The perfect trilogy in one package! Stein, Book, and Kanoy have taken emotional intelligence (EI) from the laboratory of theory and scientific research and created a practical, relevant, and engaging program for students in secondary and postsecondary settings. Using the revised Bar-On EI model, this hands-on and user-friendly program includes the book, student workbook, and facilitation and activity guide and is backed by a wealth of practical experience and supporting studies. It has importance, meaning, and direct relevance to all students. As B. F. Skinner once asked, ‘What will the world be like in 50 years?’ The Student EQ Edge gives promise to finding the best answer.” ―Don Saklofske, professor, Psychology Department, Western University

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for college or college-bound students
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2013
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
The main reason young people don’t succeed in school or the working world isn’t necessarily a lack of intelligence in the academic sense, but often because of a lack of emotional intelligence – realizing what they and others are feeling, managing their emotions (particularly impulse control and stress), and managing their time (which does fall, in a way, under impulse control or self-discipline).

Many colleges, both two-year and four-year, are now requiring students to take a class during their first semester to learn about emotional intelligence, study skills, time management, and more. These colleges do show significant improvement in success and retention (students not dropping out during the semester and returning the next semester).

This book would be an excellent textbook for such classes. It has a good introduction to what EI (emotional intelligence) is, then one chapter for each of the sixteen elements of EI. Each of these chapters begins with a definition from Multi-Health Symptoms of the element of EI discussed in that chapter; thorough, down-to-earth examples that students can understand; and then how to improve one’s self in that element of EI. The authors stress the point that though IQ can rarely change, people can change their EI.

I can highly recommend this book to any and all college students and college-bound high school students. The authors are very knowledgeable in psychology and psychiatry, but they have produced a very readable text for this age group that can help them succeed in college and the working world.

Who I am: I’m an instructor of English at a two-year college.

Why I chose this book: Our college is emphasizing EI in a program called LEAP, and I wanted to read more about EI.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better descriptive than prescriptive--an excellent book if you subscribe to Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2013
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I read the first three chapters and chapter on Impulse Control carefully, and scanned the remainder of the book, as all remainder seem to support the initial thesis.

In this book, Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy (REBT)'s ABCDE methodology is prescribed-- the authors advocate that by rationally and diligently changing belief (B of ABCDE), it is possible to change consequences (C). Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a school of psychotherapy. ABCDE means (Perceived) Action, (Related) Belief, (Emotional) Consequences, (Rational) Dispute of Belief, and (Changed) Effects. Authors are most interested in changing at the "B" (Belief) stage.

As ABCDE is so logical, then why didn't people think of this before? Well, they did. ABCDE is actually a disguised, simplistic, traditional "Thou Shalt" advice method. To see this, I'll add < > below.

Each chapter has title of a virtue -- impulse control, assertive, independent, aware, flexible, socially responsible, etc., and the authors describe excellently the problems of lacking these virtues--the vices . For example, the chapter on Impulse Control starts with describing a successful businessman who claims his impulsiveness helped his career with snap decisions, intuition calls, aggressive assertiveness.... Authors counter-claim that the businessman's impulsiveness <vice> was damaging to those around him, caused many personal failures, and "just imagine how much more he (the businessman) might achieve in both his working and personal relationships, if he were able to operate less impulsively <virtue>...." "(Authors) are not suggesting that effective impulse control <virtue> involves stifling or disregarding valuable gut feeling. Rather it is the capacity to Look Before You Leap--to manage a wide range of volatile emotional states and urges <vices> wisely and coolly."

The authors' ABCDE prescription is -- businessman <Thou Shalt evaluate your B (Belief) before taking any impulsive action. Look Before You Leap.> It's not that the businessman doesn't know this historical advice "Look Before Leap." Instead, his intuition, instinct, and overall emotional state DRIVES him to be impulsive. And these thoughts, feelings, and compulsions completely overwhelm his ABCDEs. (Human are creatures of emotions, not reason--and there are reasons why). Compulsions, addictions, chronic behavior patterns, loves and fears, anger-- these tend to interfere with acquiring desired "rational" skills, and one can learn all about the "rational" methods, without being able to change these emotional patterns.

The authors suggest the businessman can self-reflect (or go into therapy) to learn his ABCDEs for impulse control. But, ultimately, this ABCDEs will lead to his having to learn his ABCDEs for the entire range of "Thou Shalt" chapter title advices in this book: Thou Shalt be emotional aware, Thou Shalt have high self-regard, Thou Shalt be assertive, ... Thou Shalt be emotionally expressive, ..... all probably twenty New personality traits. Regardless of how much time the businessman spends to rid a vice, another vice seems to then appear. Very, very difficult to achieve--ridding all vices, and takes time away from his innate competitive advantages. Maybe the ABCDEs aren't the correct prescription?

The authors' spends a lot of time writing that if one's virtues (the chapter titles) aren't right, then extensive problems result from ensuing vices. But simplistic ABCDE prescriptive answers, which are really disguised "Thou Shalts", historically hasn't worked that well. Eastern and western religions offer superior answers. The book simply doesn't dig deep enough as to why people act with such vices, and is dispensing simplistic advices that is mediocre, though these "Thou Shalt" advice will work for some people.

If a reader believes in REBT and ABCDE, this is a good book, not a great one because its examples given are weak (a 4 star). If one doesn't believe in REBT and ABCDE, skim this book anyhow for some advice (a 2 star).
