Practical exercises for relating to others (and self) without judgement
At the heart of most spiritual tradition is the instruction to love. Rosenberg has assembled a technique for helping others to relate to others and themselves in love, which is the lack of judgement. His technique uses language as one of the main ways to align people with this way of thinking. It’s a great tool. This book has been assembled from question and answer sessions with Rosenberg — it wasn’t expressly written as a book. So while I appreciated the focused collection of thoughts, it’s a repeat of many other books and lectures I’ve read/listened to. If you’ve already read a lot of Rosenberg, it’s good to know this so that you’re not expecting anything different. If you haven’t read much about Rosenberg’s philosophy, then I think you’ll really enjoy this book.

Essential Reading
This tiny little book contains the spiritual connection that is the basis of non-violent communication. If I ever had a list of essential reading, this book would be on it. Speaking Peace Speaking Peace is a great audio book is you want an audio companion to non-violent communication. Practical Spirituality: The Spiritual Basis of Nonviolent Communication (Nonviolent Communication Guides) Recommended for everyone. Marshall Rosenberg should win the Nobel Peace Prize for this concept in action.

This book helps to describe the power of NVC
It is hard to think and believe that Marshall Rosenberg's NVC framework and knowledge could point to such a simple direct connection to the spiritual side of life . . . it does. I highly recommend this book if upon reading other NVC materials or reviewing the YouTube videos, your intuition is pointing to the underlying spirituality of NVC. This book makes clear what you sensed.I really wish I had learned of this as a teen. Excellent.

Disappointing
I admit I had high expectations for this book after having read The Surprising Purpose of Anger by the same author. However, unlike that book which is at the same time accessible and profound, this book is repetitive and trite. The entire point of the conversation (it's in question and answer format) is that within everyone is a "blessed divine energy" that is only accessed when we allow ourselves to experience feelings and needs, both our own and other people's, without judgement or evaluation. There are better explorations of how to do this in Rosenberg's other books. I can't help but 'judge' that this book is geared toward the new age crowd that likes to have practical advice sugar coated in mystical language, as if simply calling something "blessed" and "divine" somehow automatically elevates both the message and the reader.

Not what I expected, but a good value.
This is a transcript of an interview with the late Dr. Rosenberg. Not exactly what I expected. The previous owner's name is written in Sharpie on the outside cover, which I also didn't expect. Still, worth the discounted price.

Fantastic!
So glad I discovered NVC. I wish it had been taught in school when I was there. It's never too late to turn the tide. Stop the fearful rhetoric and embrace NVC and the world may have a chance to heal and be at peace.

great
I have bought several of Marshal Rosenbergs books teaching on NVC. It really has helped me internally to sort through reality and my judgement still keeping with the word of God!
