1,000,000 copies sold worldwide • Translated in More Than 30 Languages. What is Violent Communication? If “violent” means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm, then much of how we communicate—judging others, bullying, having racial bias, blaming, finger pointing, discriminating, speaking without listening, criticizing others or ourselves, name-calling, reacting when angry, using political rhetoric, being defensive or judging who’s “good/bad” or what’s “right/wrong” with people—could indeed be called “violent communication.”

What is Nonviolent Communication? Nonviolent Communication is the integration of 4 things:

Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of empathy, care, courage, and authenticity

Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance

Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement, and how to move toward solutions that work for all

Means of influence: sharing “power with others” rather than using “power over others”

Nonviolent Communication serves our desire to do three things:

1: Increase our ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection

2: Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships

3: Sharing of resources so everyone is able to benefit

“Nonviolent Communication shows us a way of being very honest, without any criticism, insults, or put-downs, and without any intellectual diagnosis implying wrongness.” — Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Nonviolent Communication connects soul to soul, creating a lot of healing. It is the missing element in what we do.” —Deepak Chopra, author, How To Know God

“Dr. Rosenberg has brought the simplicity of successful communication into the foreground. No matter what issue you’re facing, his strategies for communicating with others will set you up to win every time.” —Anthony Robbins, author, Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power

“Marshall Rosenberg’s dynamic communication techniques transform potential conflicts into peaceful dialogues and create compassionate connections. I highly recommend this book.” —John Gray, Ph.D., author, Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus

About the Author

Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD (1934–2015) founded and was for many years the Director of Educational Services for the Center for Nonviolent Communication, an international peacemaking organization.

During his life he authored fifteen books, including the bestselling Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life (PuddleDancer Press), which has sold more than one million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 30 languages, with more translations in the works. Dr. Rosenberg has received a number of awards for his Nonviolent Communication work including:

2014: Champion of Forgiveness Award from the Worldwide Forgiveness Alliance

2006: Bridge of Peace Nonviolence Award from the Global Village Foundation

2005: Light of God Expressing in Society Award from the Association of Unity Churches

2004: Religious Science International Golden Works Award

2004: International Peace Prayer Day Man of Peace Award by the Healthy, Happy Holy (3HO) Organization

2002: Princess Anne of England and Chief of Police Restorative Justice Appreciation Award

2000: International Listening Association Listener of the Year Award

Dr. Rosenberg first used the NVC process in federally funded school integration projects to provide mediation and communication skills training during the 1960s. The Center for Nonviolent Communication, which he founded in 1984, now has hundreds of certified NVC trainers and supporters teaching NVC in more than sixty countries around the globe.

A sought-after presenter, peacemaker and visionary leader, Dr. Rosenberg led NVC workshops and international intensive trainings for tens of thousands of people in over 60 countries across the world and provided training and initiated peace programs in many war-torn areas including Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and the Middle East. He worked tirelessly with educators, managers, health care providers, lawyers, military officers, prisoners, police and prison officials, government officials, and individual families. With guitar and puppets in hand and a spiritual energy that filled a room, Marshall showed us how to create a more peaceful and satisfying world.

If you grew up in a dysfunctional family like I did

ByJessicaGon May 19, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book has made all of my relationships more manageable. If you grew up in a dysfunctional family like I did, where communication usually happened in the form of guilt trips and passive aggression, this book can change your life. As soon as I started applying concepts like observing without judgment, communicating my needs and my feelings openly and honestly, asking for what would add joy to my life, and not taking ownership for other people's feelings or responses to me, I noticed a change in how people in my life responded to me and my requests. People began to seem more open to hearing me, and normal every day conflicts can be addressed without people getting escalated.

A must read if you want to connect with others on a deeper level.

ByMatthewon December 10, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The best book I have read without a doubt. I have used all of the concepts covered in the boom in my family violence intervention program and anger management classes. The people in class have loved the days we go over these ideas. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to find a healthier way to communicate and connect with other.

Everyone Should Read This Book - Schools should reinforce this from elementary level onward!

ByRaven C. Sequoiaon June 19, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

My friends and I are studying NVC right now on weekly basis. We're learning so much. Compared to the first version, it's much better now in its 4th edition. They've improved and clarified a lot of questions I had in the past. I can't wait to finish this and perhaps later give a workshop for the Deaf Women of Ohio to pass along this invaluable tool of REAL communicating of our hidden actual feelings (not thoughts!) and overlooked needs and meeting them. This book requires like at least 3 re-reads to really fully understand it. It's a whole new perspective of how we are to interact with each other. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. Thank you Dr Marshall Rosenberg!

I read the latest edition of Marshall's book.i like the new chapter very much as it adds a very important dimension. I have read the other editions over 20 times. Does that say how much I appreciate his work - and how essential it is for my own life.

A communication "must read" for everyone in all walks of life.

Bycindybon May 10, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is the best I have read on the subject of communication. If a person was only going to read one book on the subject this would be the one to read. (We took a class using this as a text ... even better.) Marshall Rosenberg not only explains the theory of compassionate communication, but includes examples and exercises for readers. I believe that every parent, teacher, student, employee, employer, leaders, volunteer, -- everyone! should learn and practice these techniques. It changes individuals, families, schools, workplaces, and the world. Please read this book! By following the practices taught in this book we can quit thinking others need to change, and realize how our changes can actually help them communicate better. Woo Hoo. Win Win. It was great to sit in class and listen to fellow class members discuss their successes in the semester we were meeting. It worked even for the most skeptical people.

A useful, practical guide on how to resolve disputes.

ByE. D. Hanceon July 28, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I read this book in three evenings. It is easy reading. There are lots of examples of hard disputes between difficult parties. The author explained how to learned the needs of each side and worked out a resolution that satisfied both sides. He is not a mediator seeking a compromise. He is medically trained in clinical sciences. However, he is also is an authentic human being seeking the feelings and needs of the people he connects with. It is his authenticity and humanness that gets the results.
