Prof Peter Salovey from Yale University USA said the following about this book: "...I had the opportunity to read their original Emotional Intelligence workbook, which I told them (the authors) at the time and still believe to this day - I thought was the most helpful and well conceived book of its kind in the EQ field."

The newest book is

"Optimise your Sports Performance through Emotional Intelligence."Author: Dr. Ronel le Roux. ISBN-10: 0-624-04394-0. It is published by Tafelberg Publishers, 2006. The Afrikaans title of the book is "Verbeter jou Sportprestasie deur Emosionele Intelligensie." With this book I show all people participating in sport (or not) that feelings are a natural and wonderful part of being human but that they need to be recognised and accepted to have a positive outcome. Intense negative feelings may hamper anyone’s performance whether it is a child or adult. They can also lead you to great heights if you pay attention and listen to what they want to tell you. Accepting and working with your feelings will make you more powerful and successful. Combining this skill with constructive thinking patterns and you will have a recipe for success. Try it, you have nothing to lose and so much to gain! It is my hope that the sportsmen and women who really need help with recognising and controlling their emotions and thinking patterns will benefit from this book. I made it as practical as possible so that everyone who is committed to enhancing these skills will be able to do that on his/her own. Remember that you can always improve your performances with these skills and you don’t need to have a problem in order to benefit from the book. While this book is aimed in the first instance at the adult sportsperson (16 years and older) it also contains important information that is applicable to the coaching of children. After all, today’s sportsperson may well be a coach or a parent tomorrow, or, for that matter, already be involved in parenting or coaching.

It is also available at bookshops, especially Exclusive Books and CNA. You may order the book directly from me. People who are not from South Africa can order the book from www.onthedot.co.za or www.kalahari.net
