Explorer Testimonials
What I loved about this book is that it allows for flaws and failures. While a regular communication book only provides the optimal solution, I have learned there are many paths to be followed after making a mistake.
If a conversation went badly, try again. If the solution that you and the other party came up with doesn’t work out, don’t lose heart, just start over. Look for problems before they arise, go and confront the person before they need to confront you, but if you don’t, here’s how to handle it when they complain.
Paul Duevel, teacher, Norway
Connection gave me words for where I am and where I want to go. This book has been life-changing for me. It has been exciting to see my own kids starting to use these skills, too.
Emily Merrill, farmer, Burlington, Vermont
I have taught classes based on Connection at the UU for 10 years. While this book is anchored in a college setting, the group of professional adults we formed to teach ourselves NVC, found we could use the exercises with minimal revision. I personally have found Fraser’s Connection worth reading and re-reading.
Carolyn Stevens, real estate investor, Boston
I return regularly to re-read Connection. It reminds me of I aspire to be in relationship to myself and others. Reviewing these ideas is a support to my steady improvement is getting these ideas into my habitual responses.
