In the nearly 30 years since the advent of the ‘affective revolution,’ scholars and practitioners alike have gradually come to understand that the world we live in cannot be understood solely in terms of mechanical or cognitive principles. The chapters in this volume demonstrate this realization and deal with a wide variety of human experience, both in the classroom and at work. In particular the chapters reveal how, through becoming mindful of our emotions we can improve our self-awareness and personal effectiveness, and in doing so become role models for our students - who will be the leaders of tomorrow.
