Food for Thought August 26, 2010
Rabid Reader (NC)
I found this book to have great suggestions for how to move beyond the accusatory language many of us engage in. As someone who coaches others daily as part of my job, the techniques presented hold great promise for helping resolve conflicts. My only caveat about this book was it gets a little "preachy" in places and periodically references God and spiritual concepts (even though it is from a New Age perspective rather than an organized religious perspective). I found that more of a distraction to the concepts presented within than anything else. But overall, the material is well presented and provides significant food for thought.

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!

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.
