Well, I have changed my mind again on linking to Amazon.com. I took off my links because I thought it was too much of a conflict of interest to recommend books when I was getting a kickback from them. Now I am going to try it again. It seems if you are going to buy a book you might as well buy it through this site. I think I get something like 1 dollar on a 20 dollar book if you click through from my site. It is one way to support this site if you want. And I will try to maintain my integrity and not list books unless I really think they are worthwhile. In all honesty though, I would rather see you get the books at the library! Or, a second hand bookstore. They need the business more than Amazon. But anyhow thre are some links below.
Authors I like: Haim Ginott (my notes), John Holt (my notes), Thomas Gordon, Maria Montessori (my notes)
Books by Ginott:
Also:
Emile or On Education J.J. Rousseau
Excerpt:
"Let the child do nothing on anybody's word...In always pushing him ahead of his understanding, you believe you are using foresight, and you lack it. To arm him with some vain instruments which he will perhaps never use, you take away from him man's most universal instrument, which is good sense. You accustom him to let himself always be led, never to be anything but a machine in others' hands. You want him to be docile when little: that is to want him to be credulous and a dupe when he is grown up. You constantly tell him, "All that I ask of you is for your own advantage. But you are not in a condition to know it. What difference does it make to me whether you do what I demand? It is only for you yourself that you are working." With all these fine speeches that you make to him now in order to get him to be obedient, you are preparing the success of those speeches which will be made to him one day by a visionary, an alchemist, a charlatan, a cheat, or any kind of madman in order to catch your pupil in his trap or to get him to adopt his madness."
Emotional Development of Young Children: Building an Emotion-Centered Curriculum (Early Childhood Education Series) by Marion C. Hyson. While this was published before the term EI became popular, it has excellent emotion-related research. Academic, yet easy to read. My notes
Emotional Intelligence, Daniel Goleman, 1995
Though I don't agree with a lot of Daniel Goleman's beliefs and I don't share his values, I recommend his 1995 book so you can see what he called EI. Also, it includes a lot of interesting research data on emotional matters, even if it is more about other aspects of personality besides intelligence.
Emotional Development and Emotional Intelligence: Educational Implications --Edited by Peter Salovey and David Sluyter.
Recommended, but difficult to read. Contains many articles from university researchers and lots of citations. To see my detailed notes from selected chapters, click My Notes.
Also recommended are the following journal articles by Mayer, Salovey, et al.

Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, by Joan Declaire, John M. Gottman (March 1998 update: I just found out this is the same book as the next one. It has just been re-titled.)
The Heart of Parenting, Raising an Emotionally Intelligent
Child, by
Gottman. A good book for parents. See my detailed notes on this
book
Books: Wayne Dyer - His old books like Your Erroneous Zones helped me a few years ago, but now he has gotten too New Age. Here are some of my notes from Dyer's books.

I highly recommend the work of Nathaniel Branden. Though he does
not refer to his work as EI, it is some of the best writing I
have seen on emotions and is close to what I call EQ. His most
helpful work for me was Honoring the Self. Another
book I recommend by Branden, though not related to EI, is Taking
Responsibility. My review of the book can be found at
Amazon.com
Branden's web site is http://www.nathanielbranden.net/ - but it is mostly sales oriented.
Self-help-- For example on understanding the effects of and recovering from dysfunctional parenting:
John Bradshaw - Bradshaw is well-known for his work on dysfunctional familes. He has several books and tapes. He was a top scholar, but also an alcoholic. He was raised in a Catholic family and still is a bit "religious/spiritual," but is still worth reading. His explanations and insight were a big help to me in understanding my own family problems. http://www.johnbradshaw.com - (mostly sales oriented)

Healing emotional pain - http://members.tripod.com/~ozpk/000emot; for example: http://www.comcat.com/~peace/PainAnger.html and other links
Primal Therapy - Site of Arthur Janov. Though the term is a bit dated and not many people seem to embrace this therapy - it has a strong emphasis on feelings. I recommend his book, The Feeling Child, in particular, in which he talked of the "two brains - the emotional and the thinking brain" back in 1973.
Personal growth and abuse/recovery
Mental
Health Net
Said to be the largest, most comprehensive guide to mental health
online.
There are lots, lots more - just search under abuse, recovery, etc.

See my Site Reviews for comments on lots of sites which promote themselves under the EI or EQ banner. Some of these sites have much to offer, some have almost nothing to offer, many are just commercial, i.e. trying to sell you something.
