Description
Drawing from Buddhist and yogic precepts, this practical guide offers tools for becoming a better, more compassionate communicator. Judith and Ike Lasater share their personal journey with Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a technique that helped them understand how to live truthfully and speak with compassion in all aspects of life. Through clear explanations, poignant examples, and suggested exercises, the authors guide you through an introduction to NVC, helping you learn new ways to extend empathy, distinguish between feelings and needs, make requests rather than demands, choose connection over conflict, and create mutually satisfying outcomes. With practice, you'll develop a more compassionate approach to communication that can be applied at home, in the workplace, or in your relationships with others.
