Nonviolent Communication

Nonviolent Communication A Language of Life Marshall B. Rosenberg Ph. D. Translator: Gizem Alav Şapçı "Best-selling book - with an improved new edition and new cover..." To enjoy strong and satisfying relationships in all areas of life... Most of us - from the day we were born - within the framework of "right/wrong" in our communication with people We are trained to compete - to judge - to demand and to diagnose. The way we are taught to think and speak—even at its most optimistic, hinders communication—creating misunderstandings and disappointments, both within ourselves and with others. Nonviolent Communication - guides us to reframe the way we express ourselves and listen to others and to hear the deep needs in our relationships. Our words cease to be habitual and automatic reactions and turn into conscious responses based on awareness of what we want. In Nonviolent Communication/A Language of Life, M. B. Rosenberg - through the stories he tells - through the experiences he shares - understands complex communication problems - the thought patterns that lead to anger and violence - transforms disagreements into peaceful negotiations - expresses ourselves fully - brings awareness and depth to our relationships with empathy instead of fear, shame or guilt. It offers practical ways in which we can learn how to gain knowledge.
