Rating: - A real life-changer; ought to be taught in public school
Participating in a weekend workshop on Nonviolent Communication about 15 years ago, before the first book was ever published, changed my life ever since. I was so excited when I later discovered a book had been published. I have since given this book as a gift many times. In almost every case (the cases in which the person actually read the book!) the person had a very similar experience to my own. This book will help you see communication (and relationships) in a whole new way. As a therapist I have found this book to be helpful to clients with anger management difficulties and problems with conflict in relationships. It also promotes self-awareness and self-acceptance. It takes practice, but once you understand and internalize the general attitude promoted in this book, it sticks. And then it seeps into your life like a soothing balm. That's right, like a soothing balm. Try it; you'll see what I mean.

Rating: - Great book
Rosenberg's practice of empathy is profoundly changing my self awareness and my relationships with others, like my other favorite book about love and communication I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't

Rating: - This book changed the way I communicate.
This is the most concise, most clearly written manual on interpersonal communication I've ever come across. It's an easy read, practical and to the point, and endorsed by the likes of Deepak Chopra and Arun Gandhi. The meat of the book is the suggestions it's making about how to best communicate with each other, how to ask for what you need, hear what others need, and evoke compassion and empathy in yourself and others. It's a book that I've needed to read for a long time; I can think of a number of occasions where I wish I had communicated better and been able to stay connected instead of disconnect in discouragement and anger. I've been challenged by this book...challenged to be the change I want to see in my world.

Literally, anyone who speaks could benefit from reading this book! It helps us to realize not only the power of words but how to choose them better and ultimately enhance both communication and relationships! Highly recommended! :)
