Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Curiosity (HBR Emotional Intelligence)
Harvard Business Review · 2024
🎙 Narrated by James Fouhey and Jennifer Aquino (Ascent Audio, 2024)
68/100
👎 Skip It
This is a tidy, credible little collection on why curiosity matters at work, and the HBR name plus named contributors give it real weight. But at under two hours of anthologized essays it skims rather than digs in, and the dual-narrator delivery is solid if unremarkable — a fine commute listen, not a must-own.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: good Dual narrators (Fouhey and Aquino), typical of the multi-author HBR anthology format; short runtime around 1h40m.
