Thanks for the Feedback

The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well




The authors of the classic Difficult Conversations teach you how to take criticism productively

Feedback is everywhere. Friends, family, colleagues, doctors, even strangers - they all assess, coach and criticize our performance, personalities and appearance. Yet although we know that feedback is essential for relationships and careers, we dread it and even dismiss it. That's because although we want to learn and grow, we also want to be accepted just as we are.

Thanks for the Feedback is the first book to address this tension head on. In it, the world-renowned team behind the Harvard Negotiation Project offer a simple framework and powerful tools that show us how to take on life's blizzard of comments and advice with curiosity and grace.

Praise for Thanks for the Feedback

I'll admit it: Thanks for the Feedback made me uncomfortable. And that's one reason I liked it so much. With keen insight and lots of practical takeaways, it reveals why getting feedback is so hard - and then how we can do better

Thanks for the Feedback is a road map to more self-awareness, greater learning, and richer relationships. A tour de force

Adam Grant, Wharton professor and author of Give and Take

Imagine an organisation where everyone is actually good at receiving feedback. People would learn and grow. Impossible, you say? Thanks to this insanely original and powerful book, maybe not
