Chapters

I think it's a phenomenal thing that we're doing with this emotional intelligence. Derek is so powerful with him coming into my classroom and just teaching the young youth, college students and high school students, about emotional intelligence. And a lot of these young men have a lot of other issues besides academics. They have a lot of social problems, family problems, and this book's really helped them being able to manage everything and cope with it. Emotional intelligence helps me as a coach dealing with so many socioeconomic background young youth. It's enlightening. It's very enlightening, and you can use it forever. I teach it with my course here at Laney College as a lifelong wellness. It's something that you can take forever and always have and apply it in any avenues and any acts of life. If you want to keep living a non-stressful life, you need to read the book, brother. You need to read the book. My name is Vincent Bordelon. I'm a professor here at Laney College, and I appreciate Derrick coming out here like always. I love you, brother, and keep up the good work. Thank you. Thank you.
