Summary

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.

I instinctively distrust self help books. This book is different.

This book exposes some very deep and troubling approaches we take when dealing with each other in every day life. We self sabotage our communications by building walls that have no purpose. This book effortlessly tears down these emotional constructs, biases and shines a light on a far more productive and frankly beautiful approach that empowers and centres us. Seriously worth the time. I will read it again and again.

Potentially life changing

I've listened to it twice in a row. There are many other great audiobooks on audible that will enrich your life, by Thich Nhat Hanh, Eckhart Tolle, Tara Brach and many more from Sounds True, and you should check those out too. But on the subject of communication, and more widely on engaging genuinely with other people and making yours and their lives richer, this book held several epiphanies for me, and will be a reference often returned to in the future. Do listen to it!

Essential listening

Undoubtedly one of the most profound learnings of my 45 year old life. If you have ever expressed your feelings and met with a defensive or aggressive response this is for you. If you want to communicate better this is for you.

Just listen, it's so inspiring

A fascinating and very simple way of looking at our approaches of how we communicate with people. It has given me a new outlook on how I interact with people now and find out what's alive in us all. I thankyou Marshall 😊

A world where everyone lived by these principles..

If only everyone in the world read this book and lived by its principles. It would be a different world, where judgement and anger were put aside in favour of understanding. Reading this book has profoundly affected my understanding of those I interact with and made me so much more empathic. It has helped me see that if I feel angry it is a mask for another emotion, and so my response needs to wait until I have identified that other emotion, so I can respond from a place of authenticity. I think the tricky part is remembering that in moments of anger and judgement, but the book does have some practical suggestions as to how to handle yourself when you feel the anger rising.

I really like the gentle and deliberate delivery of the author's narration.

Life changing

Heard about NVC on Radio 4 this summer. Wish I'd grown up with this knowledge.

True apreciation

There are not enough words to describe how I feel. This book taught me how to truly communicate, empathising with other's feelings, truly connecting with the person in front of me and myself. I was relieved when I realised that this book was what I was needing, tools to connect with my kids, to help them grow without the limitations of judgments, living full of life by honouring what is alive in them. Thank you Marshall for giving this gift to the world, you let shine our true essence. I tried this with my son and his ever anger and it took 5 mins to unlock this hole baggage of profound sadness he had been holding for years. It's almost instant the response that this way of communicating generates. So now practice and more practice, I chose to contribute to the words by being my best self. Thank you with all my heart.

A download must

I have read most of Marshall Rosenberg's books. Every one is a treasure. I have them in the Kindle and Audio format. They explain a peaceful solution to different views in different scenarios. I feel the books have been an education to me and would be to anyone else who wishes to communicate more effectively and to listen clearly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

this is good stuff!

I love the way Marshall Rosenberg deals with conflict - we all want connection and feel so good when we have it but today it's difficult to remember this. Listening to this for the 4th time I realise that when I truly listen to try to understand I get so much, at first I thought it wasn't fair because I wasn't the one talking, now I realise it doesn't matter because I get so much from listening. Thank you Marshall
