Emotional Intelligence and Your Academic and Personal Success

"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
