People are not disturbed by things; they are disturbed by their view of things Epictetus (c. 55 - 135 CE). Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to perceiving, controlling, and evaluating emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while others claim it is an inborn characteristic. EI is the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, discriminate among them, and use this information to guide one's thinking and actions. Go Suck A Lemon hopes to provide readers with methods for improving emotional intelligence by offering cognitive skill-building techniques, thereby helping to create a less self-defeating and more enriching experience when experiencing emotion.

Recording the Lemon was tough for me. I have no training in voice performance, recording, or editing. I am a clinical mental health therapist in private practice with a huge desire to share what I know with others. This audiobook is not perfect by any means. (It's as imperfect as I am.) It is, however, the VERY best I could do on my own. If you can tolerate my best effort, please listen to this version. Otherwise, you may enjoy the paperback or the Kindle version. Thank you to everyone who took the time to review it. I am very grateful for your words.
Cheers!
