From the Paper:

"Emotional education should be part of a balanced school education. After all, most of us realize that in order to succeed in life, it is not enough to have "book learning" - one also needs to have emotional maturity, so that one can manage one's own life and interact cooperatively with others. Yet emotional education is harder to describe and implement than a more matter of fact subject such as geography. We need first to be clear about what emotions are, and what emotional education is."
