Publisher's Summary

Our words have the power to create profound healing or incredible suffering. Yet even with the best intentions, it is often difficult to express ourselves in ways that build harmony and trust. Speaking Peace presents a seminal four-part model you can use immediately to connect to the spirit of love and generosity within you and start contributing to the well-being of everyone you relate to.

For over 40 years, visionary author Marshall Rosenberg has used the process of nonviolent communication to help families, schools, businesses, and governments reach accord in seemingly impossible conflicts. Join this pioneering voice to learn:

  • How to use your natural empathy to defuse stressful situations and safely confront anger, fear, and other emotions
  • Proven skills for overcoming dehumanizing communication patterns that block compassion
  • How to see through the eyes of others to foster understanding
  • And more

Marshall Rosenberg teaches that when you convey what is alive in you, your true feelings, and the values and desires behind them, you establish honest, nurturing relationships that eventually fulfill everyone's needs. With Speaking Peace, learn how to align your speech with your heart's purest depths.

WONDERFUL

A perfect follow up as an abridged version of Dr. Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication: a language of life. Truly highlights the main points through story, song and anecdotes that resonate with the listener, truly impactful.
If one has yet to read Nonviolent communication: a language of life, Speaking Peace perfectly whet's the appetite for more.

Great tools for actively practicing non violent communication. The stories and practices are helpful. I wish it was longer.

Always a pleasure

These readings are filled with so much personal depth. I had listened to the original and this was a great follow up. covers some of the same concepts, a little bit further, but also expands on new ideas that were a delight to listen to.

Truly Awesome.

Simply a shorter, better, deeper, clearer, more practical, and more affordable version of NVC! If you have to decide between the two, get this one. Much more on changing others and society and the "gangs" it's comprised of. Lovely musical interludes as well! My only criticism is that I wish it were more in depth. The Nonviolent Communication book gives more stories, though not more depth IMO.
Unfortunately there is no text version of this, but it may be the greatest, most important book you ever read!

Great Coles Notes

I have previously listened to Non Violent Communication by this author and thought this might a little more on the same theme. It is actually a summary of the original book which suited my personal needs.
