Mei Elliott explores the theme of feedback. We are surrounded by feedback. A high five, a promotion, not being invited to a friend's wedding, getting an A or an F, a thank you note from a neighbor, the expression on your bosses face when you show up late, again. Feedback is everywhere, and yet most people find constructive feedback extremely difficult to receive. Together, we'll explore the way that our struggles with feedback are linked to truth, relationship, and identity. This will include an investigation of the way the Buddhist teachings of not-self, or anatta, support us in meeting feedback with openness and ease.

This talked is inspired by the brilliant book of the same title by Sheila Heen and Douglas Stone.
