Amazing book, I'm reading this one again at least 2x to get it into my brain. Great for communication skills in general. <3

I'm 80% through this and going out to enjoy new year x
For someone who's bad at taking constructive criticism this is a really great read had about 100 fab insights into how to take it with grace and where lines need to be drawn and why feedback is so prickly for human minds

It took me 6 months to get through this one, not because it's at all bad but because I'm generally just sort of resistant to this sort of nonfiction. So much of it seems like common sense, so I feel like I'm wasting my time reading it, though it was neat to see some of my own evolution at receiving feedback recorded pretty faithfully in the book. In the end, there is a fair bit of pretty practical advice, and it's a useful book, though I think I would have preferred an abridged version. The many scenarios the authors share are useful for illustrating the points they illustrate, but if you already kind of get the point from the simple statement of it, the scenarios feel a little like fluff. Actually I think this sort of book is probably very well suited to hypertext, with a rough outline, more detail on each section, and links to scenarios for further reading. I dog-eared a fair bit of stuff at about the midpoint and then a bunch more in the last fifth or so of the book.

Such a helpful book for thinking through my role as both a receiver and giver of feedback. I have struggled big time this past year in this area and it was nice to get some ideas for how to handle feedback conversations and to examine what goes on emotionally when we get feedback. I may have to revisit this in the future-lots of tidbits to digest.

Vaguely interesting, but not relevant enough to my current life to continue

This was the second time reading Thanks for the Feedback. I like it's focus on receiving rather giving feedback. I've found that other management books say how important it is to give feedback, but don't do a good job of explaining how to give feedback well nor break down what feedback actually is. Thanks for the Feedback does a good job of explaining the different types of feedback (coaching, evaluation and appreciation) by focusing on receiving rather than giving feedback. I like this approach because I believe you need to be able to receive feedback before you can give it. I also like how the book provides a lot of examples and scenarios: it helps the ideas stick.
