This book provides a clear understanding of the neuromechanisms of emotional intelligence and its applications to education and organizations through practical exercises.

Divided into three parts, the book begins by explaining the data that help us understand the neural mechanisms of emotional intelligence. Part 2 focuses on application in educational contexts by presenting emotional intelligence education programs for children and adolescents as well as an analysis of emotional intelligence from a practical point of view. Part 3 switches the focus to organizations through the leadership with emotional and social intelligence model as proposed and validated by Daniel Goleman and Richard Boyatzis. Both parts offer a series of practical and engaging exercises for application to adolescents, children and educators, and organizational environments respectively. Presented simply, the book gives a scientifically rigorous and structured overview of how neuroscience has helped in understanding the neural mechanisms of emotions and its applications.

It is indispensable reading for neuroscientists, psychologists, leaders, managers, teachers, and educators, and all those interested in the search for personal and professional success.
