Why read it?

1 author picked White Fragility as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In the past, I’ve made a request to people close to me, "if you want to tell me something difficult to hear, please package the message respectfully." Since reading this book, when I hear something I perceive to be hostile or accusing, my job is to work on not taking it personally, because getting the message is more important than the packaging!

From Amy's list on kickass communication.
