Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Confidence (HBR Emotional Intelligence)
Harvard Business Review · 2022
🎙 Narrated by Ann Sprinkle and Joshua Saxon
74/100
👍 Worth It
This HBR collection pulls together genuinely credentialed voices — Kanter, Chamorro-Premuzic, and others — into tight, research-grounded essays on workplace confidence rather than generic pep talk. It can feel a little disjointed jumping between authors, but the two-narrator split keeps the pacing brisk and easy to follow. A solid, evidence-based listen if your focus is office confidence or imposter feelings specifically.

▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: good Ann Sprinkle and Joshua Saxon split the essays; both are established business-nonfiction narrators, which keeps the anthology format from dragging.
