Publisher Description
What if you could defuse tension and create accord in even the most volatile situations - just by changing the way you spoke? Over the past 35 years, Marshall Rosenberg has done just that, peacefully resolving conflicts in families, schools, businesses, and governments in 30 countries all over the world. On Nonviolent Communication, this renowned peacemaker presents his complete system for speaking our deepest truths, addressing our unrecognized needs and emotions, and honoring those same concerns in others. With this adaptation of the best-selling book of the same title, Marshall Rosenberg teaches in his own words:
Observations, feelings, needs, and requests - how to apply the four-step process of Nonviolent Communication to every dialogue we engage in
Overcoming the blocks to compassion - and opening to our natural desire to enrich the lives of those around us
How to use empathy to safely confront anger, fear, and other powerful emotions
Here is a definitive audio training workshop on Marshall Rosenberg's proven methods for "resolving the unresolvable" through Nonviolent Communication.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Have you ever tried to express to another person what you’re really thinking? That sounds like a big ask, but it doesn’t have to be. Psychologist Marshall Rosenberg brings us deeper into examining the emotional effect of verbal communication, helping us avoid unnecessary and stressful conflicts. He offers step-by-step strategies for transforming our communication skills, breaking down how to recognize when you’re being judgmental, angry, or otherwise negative. Crucially, he not only identifies how to respond to negativity in others, which gives us the skills to defuse potentially explosive situations, but shows how easy it is for us to think negatively about ourselves. The chapters about learning how to respond to compliments and change our internal monologues were eye-opening. Rosenberg’s calm demeanour and warm voice made us trust what he’s saying—what better way to understand ideas about language than hearing them out loud? Nonviolent Communication offers an emotionally intelligent pathway to more positive and satisfying conversations with everyone we meet.

From violence to understanding
This book was so much more than I thought it would be! It reveals so much depth on the societal norms that create dissonance and gives concrete direction on how to move forward. This goes beyond being useful for people who use violence and is a brilliant tool for anyone struggling with communication.
