Beyond Addiction and Thanks for the Feedback

Kathryn interviews clinical research scientist Dr. Jeffrey Foote, author of “Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change”. Addiction impacts 1 in 4 families in the United States. Beyond Addiction will help show family and friends how they can use kindness, positive reinforcement and motivational and behavioral strategies to help their loved ones change. Foote is co-founder and executive director of the Center for Motivation & Change. Kathryn also interviews Harvard University lecturer Sheila Heen, author of “Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well”. We all get feedback - formal and informal, explicit or implicit – in our personal and professional lives every day. In Thanks for the Feedback, Stone and Heen teach readers how to turn evaluations, advice, criticisms, and coaching into productive listening and learning. Heen has appeared on Oprah, Fox News, CNBC's Power Lunch and NPR.
