Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well Description
The best-selling authors of the classic Difficult Conversations teach us how to turn evaluations, advice, criticisms, and coaching into productive listening and learning.
We swim in an ocean of feedback. Bosses, colleagues, customers - but also family, friends, and in-laws - they all have ?suggestions? for our performance, parenting, or appearance. We know that feedback is essential for healthy relationships and professional development - but we dread it and often dismiss it.
That?s because receiving feedback sits at the junction of two conflicting human desires. We do want to learn and grow. And we also want to be accepted just as we are right now. Thanks for the Feedback is the first audiobook to address this tension head on. It explains why getting feedback is so crucial yet so challenging, and offers a powerful framework to help us take on life?s blizzard of off-hand comments, annual evaluations, and unsolicited advice with curiosity and grace.
The business world spends billions of dollars and millions of hours each year teaching people how to give feedback more effectively. Stone and Heen argue that we?ve got it backwards and show us why the smart money is on educating receivers - in the workplace and in personal relationships as well.
Coauthors of the international best-seller Difficult Conversations, Stone and Heen have spent the last 10 years working with businesses, nonprofits, governments, and families to determine what helps us learn and what gets in our way. With humor and clarity, they blend the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology with practical, hard-headed advice. The audiobook is destined to become a classic in the world of leadership, organizational behavior, and education.

Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well by Douglas Stone and Sheila Heen is a timely book that is well-written and full of sound and solid advice. It is full of examples which make it easy to understand and follow. It is an interesting and motivating book.
Many of us are used to giving advice. Yet, many of us can’t stomach the idea of someone giving us advice. May be, perhaps, there is a reason to it. Some people have the tendency to give advice to others even when it is not solicited or required. It is outright ludicrous to give advice to other at the drop of a hat.
The book discusses the three main types of feedback: appreciation, coaching and evaluation. Then the authors examine various “triggers” that often prompted people to receive feedback with a negative attitude. The authors lay much emphasis on the various types of “triggers”: truth triggers, relationship triggers and identity triggers. In a clear and enjoyable man, the book examines how one can spot the triggers and how to effectively deal with them. This is a useful book and should be read by everyone.

This book addresses all angles of feedback....giving and mostly receiving feedback in a way that creates a stronger possibility of clear communication...Great for anyone looking beyond their own window and see communication from new perspectives.
