To make it in life, you need more than just good language skills, mathematical insights and technical skills. Soft skills, such as dealing well with your emotions, being hopeful and optimistic in life and communicating emphatically are just as important.

Schools focus too little on these life skills, so Elke Keersmaekers decided to introduce the elective ‘Emotional Intelligence’. And successfully so, as every semester the course is completely full.

In this book she summarizes the different building blocks of emotional intelligence and combines them with practical tips and exercises. That way, you and your teenager can get to work to strengthen his or her resilience.
