Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Self-Awareness
Harvard Business Review Harvard Business Review · 2018
80/100
👍 Worth It
The HBR Emotional Intelligence Series delivers here: Tasha Eurich's research on self-awareness is among the most rigorous in the field, and the multi-author anthology format keeps the material varied without losing focus. The workplace framing is real — this is primarily for professionals, not life in general — and the essay-collection structure means some pieces land harder than others. Still, for the intended audience, it is one of the more evidence-grounded entries in a genre full of fluff.
