About the Book

You’re about to have an uncomfortable meeting with your boss. The principal just called about your middleschooler. You had a fight with your partner and it’s an hour before bed. You know your next move will go a long way toward defining your relationships with these individuals. So what do you do? We all find ourselves in situations similar to these, and too often resort to the same old patterns of behavior—defending our need to be right, refusing to really listen, speaking cruelly out of anger and frustration, or worse. But there is another way. Living Nonviolent Communication gives readers practical training in applying Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s renowned process in the areas he has most often been asked for counsel:

• Conflict resolution
• Healing and reconciliation
• Working with anger
• Loving relationships
• Spiritual practice
• Raising children

Nonviolent Communication has flourished for four decades across 65 countries for a simple reason: it works. Now anyone can learn to discover its healing and transformational potential, with Living Nonviolent Communication.
