I would not recommend this book. It was kind of what I expected it to be. It was obviously about what we know of emotional intelligence and what we don't know or are beginning to understand. However, the way the book was written didn't appeal to me. It was basically a bunch of scientific studies and papers all edited together into a book. The author didn't research or get his own studies he just edited a bunch of other people's together. Now, I didn't hate it but they way described everything, it felt so boring/too formal and nothing really stuck out to me. Here is an example: "This chapter presents several examples illustrating new and forthcoming forms of machine emotional intelligence, highlighting applications together with challenges to their development." I feel like they could have made this part a little more lively, however this is an edited version of studies, so I wouldn't expect everything to jump out at you. All in all, I learned a lot from this book, but I felt bored when I read this book. There was no spark there. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
