Customer Reviews

Useful resource

This workbook is helpful whether studying the process alone, leading a group, or participating as a group member. I strongly recommend that people purchase the workbook along with the Nonviolent Communication book by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D. and use them together.

Do it and enjoy the peace

This book maps the way to get in touch with feelings and needs and then shows how to get those needs met for everyone in a win/win context. Learn to let go of judgments and criticism in order to truly "see" other people and understand the needs driving their actions. Empathy and compassion for ourselves and others is the end result, making the idea of peace on earth more than "just a dream some of us had."

A superb resource for anyone seeking to improve relationships

This, and the companion book Non Violent Communication, offer very helpful insights into the effects of how we communicate with others, as well as very practical, concrete exercises for improving the effectiveness of our communication, decreasing anger and violence, and in learning to hear and understand the communications of others.

Empowering

Interesting methods for group cooperation. Anticipates common disharmonies and provides easy, compassionate strategies for keeping connection. Contains challenging exercises and, for those who prefer to practice alone, serves as an excellent solo NVC journey guide.

Plunging into Nonviolent Communication practice

This is the best tool I have found to start practicing Nonviolent Communication, whether on your own or with a group. I find the exercises proposed here to be imaginative, clear, down to earth and comprehensive of the basics of NVC. I think this workbook enhances Marshall Rosenberg's teachings and contributes to make them practical for anyone.
