Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Managing Overthinking (HBR Emotional Intelligence)
Harvard Business Review · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Rob Greenbaum and Stephanie Richardson (Ascent Audio production)
72/100
👍 Worth It
This one's a smart, no-nonsense look at why we get stuck in our heads at work — Alice Boyes, Melody Wilding and other sharp contributors break overanalysis, perfectionism and rumination into things you can actually act on. It reads more like curated magazine essays than one flowing argument, but the tools are real and research-backed. The two-narrator team keeps it moving at a clean, professional pace, so it's an easy, worthwhile listen.

🎙 Narration: good Two-narrator split typical of the HBR EI series' Ascent Audio productions; clean, professional business-nonfiction delivery.
