This is so interesting. Daniel Golman offers a review of his and co-author, Linda Lantieri’s book, “Building Emotional Intelligence”.

Article: http://www.sharpbrains.com/blog/2009/01/24/resources-to-help-students-build-emotional-intelligence/

Book: http://www.amazon.com/Building-Emotional-Intelligence-Techniques-Cultivate/dp/1591797896

In particular what I found interesting is the discussion of how creating ‘mindfulness’ develops emotional intelligence. 

I was delighted to read these authors’ views and strategies and to know that more people will now become aware of the importance of such skills. It will not only increase emotional intelligence, but with this improved skill can springboard to developing critical thinking!

‘Mindfullness’ is something I discuss in the 3rd book of my Angels and Horses series, Angels, Horses and Other Worldly Lessons. In this novel, Tina and her friends visit the ‘other world’ school and receive instruction on meditative techniques to enhance mindfulness in an entertaining way.

Angels, Horses and Other Worldly Lessons should be out some time in late March. It’s in the final edit at the publisher and will hit Amazon within weeks.

I am currently writing a new story with all new characters. I am not ready to give away any details as of yet, but I promise I will soon.

The teacher/parent guides for the Angels and Horses series should be available at my website shortly as well. For a time you will be able to download them for free. This won’t last forever so keep checking my site, www.kimberlywickham.com  for download details…

I am also working on a series of paintings of my absolute favorite subjects… horses, of course! I’ll throw some pictures in at some point.
