Introduction to Nonviolent Communication

Quality communication between oneself and others is, today and for the future, one of the most essential and valuable skills. Through a four-step process, M. Rosenberg provides us here with a tool that is very simple in principle, but extremely powerful for radically improving and strengthening our relationship with ourselves as well as with others. Thanks to simple examples and dialogues, we will learn, among other things: - to transform potential conflicts into peaceful dialogues, - to break thought patterns that lead to anger and depression, - to express what we desire without provoking hostility, - to communicate with passion using the healing power of empathy,
- to make life more beautiful for ourselves and for those around us.
Marshall Rosenberg's dynamic communication techniques transform potential conflicts into peaceful dialogues. This book offers simple ways to defuse disputes and to build benevolent relationships with our family, friends, and acquaintances. I highly recommend it.
