5.0 out of 5 stars Offers enormous potential for deeply satisfying connections 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
As a class teacher in a Waldorf elementary school, I relate with many children, parents, and colleagues on a daily basis. The process of non-violent communication presented in this book is transforming every one of these relationships. Living the process enables me to connect more deeply with the living present reality in each child, and children love and respond to the experience of that deep recognition. Parents remark at my increased openness and accessibility; whatever feelings or thoughts a parent might express, even what I might have formerly interpreted as anger, criticism or fault-finding, I am learning how to stay with process, stay with what is alive in them, and seek to know what unmet needs might be underlying those feelings or thoughts. Parents remark that they feel deeply listened to and heard. Solutions come more easily and naturally once our shared human needs are acknowledged. Conflicts and misunderstandings with colleagues now become opportunities to create deeper connections as together we translate our positions and strategies into the universally human needs underlying the feelings. Anger, depression, shame and guilt become friends, willing to help me wake to some vital need or longing within me that is not being met in some situation. Those voices we all have in our heads scolding us for this and blaming us for that--they too can be heard for the living human needs they represent.

Marshall has developed a new language, a language of the heart, that creates the possibility for all of these changes. Read the book! Seek out a trainer!

5.0 out of 5 stars The most useful book on communication skills 30 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book's a bit misleading: What Rosenberg proposes and suggests is so simple and in a way so obvious that it seems either oversimplified or not necessary to state it. It's when I tried to apply the approaches he suggests I discovered that (a) they're simple, but not always easy to apply because they mean I have to really change and (b) they usually work if I get myself to apply them.

I like things that suggest EXACTLY how to accomplish something rather than ones that one's that talk only about the theory behind things, so this books approach appeals to my concrete mentality as well as my sense of also liking to have a nice theoretical model to wrap things up in.

Don't bother getting the book if you plan to just scan it and put it down -- you'll just waste your money. If you plan to read it and try to apply it then I'd say there's a pretty good chance it could change your life in a way you (and people around you) will like. The principles in this book sure did that for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Change your communications, change your consciousness 23 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I read this book on a plane from San Diego to Virginia. I was so enthralled by it that I was disappointed when I arrived at my destination. While reading it I cryed and laughed out loud. It is easy to read and has touching examples that illistrate the principles. Applying the principles to my life and using the easy four-step tool has helped me change old conditioned beliefs and ways of acting. It has allowed me to overcome my toxic conditioning and find the loving parent and person that was locked inside. Reading the book can be the beginning of a journey. Applying the principles to your life will allow you to live fully. Dr. Rosenberg has created a way to transform the violence in the world. Violence begins with language. If we can change our communication, we can change our consciousness. Then we can dance with others and create beauty and harmony instead of war and destruction.
