I already knew a lot of the main talking points here from co-workers and I like to think that I'm both empathetic and honest in my conversations with others already, but the book has a lot of little tips on how to be more constructive with feedback without being mean and highlights a lot of a good examples of how to use Radical Candor in different situations.

Kim Scott has had an interesting career, working for several different high profile companies, so it's interesting to hear her perspective on how some of them operate drastically differently while still being successful.

I got the audiobook from the library after a few month waiting period and learned that you can't renew a book on Libby when it has that long of a wait list, so I ended up listening to the last half of it on ~1.5x speed, which I never do. It's read by the author herself though, and she can be a little slow and monotonous, so I didn't feel too bad about it.
