The authors of the classic book Difficult Conversations teach you how to handle criticism productively in Thanks for the Feedback. We receive feedback every day from friends, family, colleagues, clients, managers, teachers, doctors, and strangers. We are evaluated, guided, and our performances, personalities, and appearances are critiqued. Feedback is essential for professional development and healthy relationships - but we fear it and often reject it. This happens because while we want to learn and grow, we also desire to be accepted as we are.

Thanks for the Feedback is the first book to address this contradiction honestly. In it, the renowned team behind the Harvard Negotiation Project offers a simple framework and powerful tools, showing us how to tackle life's multitude of comments and advice with curiosity and grace.

Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell Is Human and Drive, states: "Indeed, Thanks for the Feedback made me uncomfortable. And that's one of the reasons I liked it so much. With insight and plenty of practical suggestions, it reveals why it's so difficult to accept feedback - and how we can do better."

Adam Grant, professor at Wharton and author of Give and Take, says: "Thanks for the Feedback is a roadmap to greater self-awareness, better learning, and richer relationships. A tour de force."
