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.

Chapters aren't properly set. Brilliant book

Audiobook not properly processed - this is a reference book but chapters aren't set properly so you can't navigate.

Good topic, not so good narration

I loved the topic, but I was bothered by narration.
Disclaimer, I have misophonia, meaning, I have issues with certain souds, most commonly people chewing with their mouths open, smacking lips etc. It enrages me instantly. It has always been like that. The way the narrator talks, you can often hear the saliva smacking in his mouth and it's frankly difficult for me to pay attention to what he's saying.
I have ADHD so audiobooks are the way I mostly learn new things, as reading can often times be too dull for me.
The content is superb tho, and I'd definitely recommend everyone to read it.

Straightforward and easy listen.

Very important information delivered gently and from different perspectives to make it stick.
I will be listening to this a few times over to really embed the principles. I thought I would find the narration accent annoying but found it very endearing by the end of the audio. highly recommend listen.

This book is hugely actionable for me as a dad

I want a closer connection with my kids but find that I'm pre-programmed to judge and criticize my boys.

I hope that this book can start me on my way to communicating differently with my family.

wonderful experience

loved it, beautiful book, Recommended by Dr Gabor Matè in his book "In the realm of hungry ghosts". Little bit hard to listen in commute that's the only small issue. 5 stars.

practical tips buried in there

the principles of non violent communication are powerful and useful in a wide range of situations. this book explains those well but buries the practical lessons away in a wealth of contextual stories. it could have been about an hour shorter with the same effect. you may wonder in the first part of it will get beyond anecdotes. do persist it is worth finishing.

Learned a lot!

I really loved this book, the guy is amazing! I learned a ton and hope to be able to apply it well in my life. Do remember that Audible lets you increase the playback speed though :P
