In the book
Be open to feedback — one of my favorite tools is to ask someone close, "On a scale of ten, how am I doing, and what would make it a ten?". That habit, of giving and receiving honest feedback regularly, is one of the surest marks of people mature enough to sustain deep friendships, marriages, and partnerships; and the more you pour into a relationship that matters, the more both of you are strengthened by it. And do not surround yourself only with people who agree with you: we learn far more from those who challenge our thinking than from those who merely affirm what we already believe, so keep a few friends brave enough to tell you that you are wrong. — Friends, Community & Society (Relationships/Community/Society)
