Everyone has experienced it at some point: reprimand for undesirable behavior. However, what often happens more subtly and is not recognized by many is that praise is frequently used as a means of manipulation—not as an expression of unconditional recognition, but rather as a demand for a return favor or as a form of educational measure, whether in a professional or private context. Claudia Fabian vividly and practically teaches the reader, through examples and exercises, how to give praise that is free from manipulation, loving, and connecting. For true, heartfelt recognition must be learned! Only then is the path clear for appreciation and honest relationships.
