Speak Peace in a World of Conflict August 2, 2009

This book suggests an easy to remember formula for communicating with out judgements. I have tried it and it works.

5 out of 5 stars

Love Love Loooooove it! July 6, 2009
Y (Cave Creek, AZ United States)
I can't think of anyone who would not benefit from this book. I love Marshall Rosenberg's explanation of the philosophy of NVC (Non-Violent Communication)which is some circles is also referred to as Compassionate Communication. This book brought me back to a familiar place within me and awakened a world of possibilities. I can actually see how my words affect my immediate world and can have a ripple effect outwards. Since reading this book a few years ago for the first time, I have since purchased and gifted copies of this book to others (and I re-read it on a regular basis...)

If you are a manager/leader in a corporation or if you are a parent trying to get your kids to pick up their socks, the principles in this book can help you communicate in a peaceful way to get what you need.

So now, instead of asking the kids to clean up the kitchen, I thank them when they do it out of their own accord just because they too crave peace in their hearts. They are just born that way.

And, email exchanges at work that may have led to confrontation are handled easily by applying the language of compassion and clearly stating your needs and feelings to give the other person the opportunity to give to you from their heart.

This book completely altered my relationship with my sons! April 9, 2009
Dorothy Mathis (White Oak, Iowa)
I think every human being who wants to relate to others as powerfully as possible should read this book. I recommend it to 4 or 5 people a week. It is the ultimate book on compassion!

I wish it was longer February 12, 2009

Dr Rosenberg gives a personalized discussion regarding de-conflicting our world through proper need recognition of others and ourselves coupled with direct yet peace-oriented language that many of us may never have considered and although will find difficult at first the rewards are boundless.

I read this whole book on a flight from PA to FL, and it has given me a lot to think about in my day-to-day interactions with others. It would be great to attend an NVC workshop of his one day.

Much more than the title says.. January 25, 2009

This book is not a 'read only' book, it is a 'do it/work on it' book. It's about making peace at three different, but so very much connected and intertwined, levels: a world of conflict; a personal relationship of conflict; a person of conflict. So many people speak of peace or about peace, but they bring no peace. And why not? Because one has to be at peace with oneself before one can truly bring peace in ones relationship or in the world. This book gives us the tools to do just that. We can make peace with ourselves and from there bring it into 'the outer world'. This is one of the most important books I have read for a long, long time. This book is learning (I am not finished yet by far..) me to be at peace with myself, which is something completely different from 'control myself' or terms like that. It gives me a milder, softer point of view about who I am, what I do, and why I did things that I did, in the way that I did them. Because of that, or together with that, it is also learning me to understand, and connect with, other people from a different, milder, softer point of view. And yet at the same time it makes me stronger. It is not about a weak 'peace' such as in 'avoiding conflict' or 'giving in'. But about a strong peace, because we can (learn to) see clearer what is happening inside ourselves and the other person(s) and act in a way that both we and our 'opponents' come out winning. This book is not only about speaking peace in a world of conflict. This is a book about finding peace within yourself and through that, being able to truly bring peace into your world, it is a book about healing and a book about 'winning together'; a book about hope for a split up and violent world. I love it and recommend it with all my heart.
