Usefulness for Explorers

Rosenberg’s teachings in his workshops and his book, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, are the basis of Connection.
NVC is a popular and effective approach for increasing awareness of one’s needs, and strategies for building win-win relationships with others.
Over 100 personal stories of successes, struggles, and insights from the daily lives of college students make the concepts come alive, as the students explore self-care, needs-based decision-making, and conflict resolution.
As a beginner or one who already has many communication skills, you will find new insights into your explorations of connecting with yourself and others.
You will move at your own pace with opportunities to explore the ideas, try them out, and decide which are useful to you at this time.
Multiple strategies to practice your new skills and gain ease in incorporating them into your life are offered throughout the book.
Calming yourself in times of stress, saying and hearing “no” in connecting ways, and finding your wisdom under your judgments, are only a few of the practical lessons.
Personal and professional examples of these skills in actual use are given in every chapter.
If social activism and peace-making, at home or in the world, are important to you, you will become more effective with the strategies in this book.
Supplemental resources: videos, and handouts are offered online to accompany you on your journey.
