This book was given to me as a gift by my wife. I’m always a little suspicious when this happens. However, I know that I personally don’t accept criticism well, especially by my wife. This book was very well organized and used great examples to illustrate his points. I definitely learned a lot about myself and why I don’t receive criticism well. He does a great job of explaining how a person can be better at both receiving criticism and being a critic yourself. This book has great application in both your personal and professional life! Good read!😊 Thank you Karen!
