Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Boosting Your Emotional Intelligence
Jason M. Satterfield & The Great Courses · 2017
🎙 Narrated by Jason M. Satterfield (author/professor-narrated, The Great Courses)
79/100
👍 Worth It
This is the real, substantial version of an EQ course — a UCSF professor spending 12-plus hours actually building your skills with a practical self-tracking exercise rather than just skimming highlights. It's a bigger commitment than a typical self-help title, so go in ready for a course rather than a quick read, and Satterfield's own lecture-style narration is steady and easy to follow throughout.
