Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Uncovering Happiness
Elisha Goldstein, Ph.D. · 2016
🎙 Narrated by Eric Michael Summerer (Tantor Audio edition); a separate edition exists narrated by author Elisha Goldstein himself
77/100
👍 Worth It
Elisha Goldstein grounds this in real clinical practice and neuroscience, offering concrete steps for readers who've dealt with depression rather than vague positivity talk. It's compassionate and credible, if a bit familiar if you already know mindfulness-based approaches. The narration is clean, professional nonfiction delivery — worth the listen if the topic speaks to you.
✦ 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.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Centers on clinical depression as its main theme — handled with a destigmatizing, non-graphic tone, but worth knowing before you press play.. We still scored it 77; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: good Standard, professional single-narrator nonfiction delivery (Tantor Audio edition); a separate author-narrated edition also exists for a more personal alternative.
