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 four a set of principles that support living a life of compassion, collaboration, courage, and authenticity understanding how words contribute to connection or distance 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 sharing “power with others” rather than using “power over others” Nonviolent Communication serves our desire to do three Increase our ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships Sharing of resources so everyone is able to benefit

Overall I thought it was good! I think it was helpful that the book highlighted important points to remember and gave examples of how some of these communication methods play out in real world situations.

I think some of it was kinda cringe- like I didn’t need to read about the songs that the author wrote lmao no disrespect, write that music! but I’ll pass on reading that part.

Would be best if everyone in the world read this, and really read it. Puts communication in a whole new perspective.

If only all of us would talk to each other this way, this world would be healed.

Why is this not assigned reading in middle school? Incredibly important content.
