I read this for work as a book study with other work peers, and I thought it was an extremely useful framework for receiving and giving feedback. Why can one person give me barely any feedback without me being triggered? Why can another person tell me everything bad about myself and I'll be super willing to change? 

I do feel that it's more helpful in my personal life than my work life because I tend to experience more "feedback" from my teenager than my colleagues or manager. ;)

This book was pretty dense. There were some solid principles, but it felt like a lot of labeling for things that we already innately know, we just don’t have names for. While I think this book could be really helpful for someone that doesn’t have much experience with feedback, if you’ve been somewhere in which the feedback culture is high, you might find it a little redundant.

I read this book because my mentor at UCLA suggested it when we discussed the difficulty of soliciting and learning from feedback. (This is my pitfall-if you suggest a book to me with even slightly compelling reasoning, I WILL read it!
