Review Quotes

"A revolutionary way of looking at language. If enough people actually make use of the material in Nonviolent Communication, we may soon live in a more peaceful and compassionate world."

--WES TAYLOR "Progressive Health"

"As far as nonviolence and spiritual activism, Marshall Rosenberg is it! Applying the concepts within these books will guide the reader toward fostering more compassion in the world."

--MARIANNE WILLIAMSON, Everyday Grace and honorary chairperson, Peace Alliance

"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."

--TONY ROBBINS "Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power"

"For convicts immersed in an environment which intensifies and reinforces conflict, discovering this step-by-step methodology advocating compassion through communication is enormously liberating."

--DOW GORDON, NVC Trainer at Minimal Security Unit, Monroe Correctional Complex "Freedom Prison Project"

"In our present age of uncivil discourse and mean-spirited demagoguery, the principles and practices of Nonviolent Communication are as timely as they are necessary to the peaceful resolution of conflicts, personal or public, domestic or international."

-- "MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, Taylor's Shelf"

"In this book, you will find an amazingly effective language for saying what's on your mind and in your heart. Like so many essential and elegant systems, it's simple on the surface, challenging to use in the heat of the moment, and powerful in its results."

--VICKI ROBIN, Your Money or Your Life

"Like Noam Chomsky, Rosenberg's work is intrinsically radical, it subverts our whole status-quo system of power: between children and adults, the sane and the psychotic, the criminal and the law. Rosenberg's distinction between punitive and protective force should be required reading for anyone making foreign policy or policing our streets."

--DIAN KILLIAN, PhD, reporter, On The Front Line, Cleveland Free Times

"Marshall Rosenberg provides us with the most effective tools to foster health and relationships. Nonviolent Communication connects soul to soul, creating a lot of healing. It is the missing element in what we do."

--DEEPAK CHOPRA, How to Know God and Ageless Body and Timeless Mind

"Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg is a great book teaching a compassionate way to talk to people--even if you (or they) are angry."

--JOE VITALE, Spiritual Marketing, The Power of Outrageous Marketing

"Nonviolent Communication can change the world. More importantly, it can change your life. I cannot recommend it highly enough."

--JACK CANFIELD, Chicken Soup for the Soul Series

"Nonviolent Communication is hands-down one of the best books I've read as a business owner, as well as a husband and father. This book is much better than other books at unveiling key principles and practices of exceptional communication. It's also the first book Satya Nadella asked his leadership team to read, which is meaningful."

--BEN PETERSON, BambooHR

"Nonviolent Communication is one of the most useful processes you will ever learn."

--WILLIAM URY, Getting to Yes

"One of the books I first recommended that everyone read was Nonviolent Communication, which used to be able to say, look, let us make sure we are empathetic to each other's needs, because it requires that."

-- "CNBC Transcript, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Sits Down With CNBC's Jon Fortt"

"Rosenberg describes how once 'enemies' are able to hear each other's needs, they are able to connect compassionately and find new solutions to previously 'impossible' impasses. If you want to learn ways of more skillful speech I highly recommend this clear, easy-to-read book."

--DIANA LION, Buddhist Peace Fellowship "Turning Wheel Magazine"

"You'll learn simple tools to defuse arguments and create compassionate connections with your family, friends, and other acquaintances."

--JOHN GRAY, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus
