Simple techniques but very hard to practice.
Excellent instruction in a simple but quiet difficult skill. It is possible to train ourselves to be aware and compassionate while holding others accountable for their responsibilities and speaking about it directly.

The previous version is fantastic
The previous version of this book is GREAT. The new version the book is MUCH smaller than it should be. The font is smaller and it's like I'm breaking the binding on the book by opening it. The previous version with the white cover has none of these issues. The one w the brown cover is very frustrating.

Good read but book is in poor quality & state
Good book but disappointed with the state of the book I received. The cover has damage around the edges and there’s a tear in one of the pages. The book was put, without any protection, straight into a mailing envelope. Would expect better for a new product. The binding is also not great, as if the book is too chunky for the spine.

Book arrived damaged and with poor binding quality
I was really looking forward to reading Radical Candor, but unfortunately, the copy I received was in poor condition. The binding is bent and uneven, and some pages appear wrinkled and not properly aligned . The cover also has a visible crease across the front. It looks like a storage or packaging issue rather than a printing defect, but it’s disappointing considering this is a new copy. I’d recommend better packaging protection or a replacement option for damaged books.
