A practical framework for everyday criticism

Randy Garner’s guide treats criticism as a two-way skill: it addresses how to offer feedback, respond to it, and invite it. Its scope is the criticism-prone situations people encounter in daily life, with attention to making feedback more constructive and to the defensiveness or anxiety that can surround it. The book’s organizing idea is that giving, receiving, and seeking criticism are connected parts of handling difficult conversations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People who want practical guidance for giving feedback more constructively.
  • Readers seeking ways to respond to criticism with less defensiveness.
  • Those interested in approaching feedback-seeking with less anxiety.
