This book explores the impact of socio-emotional intelligence on wellbeing in higher education.
Stemming from years of investigation and educational expertise with trainee teachers and
academics the book identifies ways in which socio-emotional intelligence can be developed in
university environments. The author begins by analysing the concept of socio-emotional
intelligence and its development before confronting distinctive areas for improvement within
the context of teaching and learning in higher education. The book explores the importance of
understanding and labelling emotions and how opportunities for self-reflection arise through
an environment that meets practical needs. The author contends that support from other scholars
is vital to the development of socio-emotional intelligence. The book concludes with a set of
practical suggestions for promoting personal development. It will be a valuable resourse for
anyone working in higher education who is interested in improving their own wellbeing and that
of those around them.
