Nonviolent Communication

Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D.
 

 
In Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, Marshall Rosenberg shows us how to reach beneath the surface and discover what is alive and vital within us, and how all our actions are based on human needs that we are seeking to meet.

When we understand and acknowledge our needs we create a shared basis for a more satisfying relationship - a deeper connection with others and ourselves. Join the thousands of people world-wide who have improved their relationships - and their lives - with this simple, yet revolutionary process.

Nonviolent communication helps you:

• Transform judgment and criticism into understanging and connection
• Break patterns of thinking that lead to arguments, anger and depression
• Resolve conflicts peacefully, whether personal or public, domestic or international
• Reduce stress in the workplace and improve productivity
• Develop relationships based upon mutual respect, compassion and cooperation

"We know that when people learn to communicate effectively with each other, their lives and their relationships can be truly transformed. This book gives people both a way of expressing their needs congruently and non-blamefully and a way of listening so others feel not just heard, but understood."
- Dr. Thomas Gordon, author, Parent Effectiveness Training (P.E.T.)

"Nonviolent communication is a simple yet powerful methodology for communicating in a way that meets both parties' needs. This is one of the most useful books you will ever read."
- William Ury, co-author of Getting to Yes and author of The Third Side.
