Today’s book: Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg—a powerful framework for communicating with empathy, resolving conflict, and building deeper relationships.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Observe without judgment. Stick to the facts—separate what happened from your interpretation of it.
- Identify and express your feelings. Instead of blaming, share how a situation makes you feel.
- Uncover the deeper need. Every feeling points to an unmet need—understanding this leads to true resolution.
- Make clear, actionable requests. Instead of vague complaints, express exactly what you’d like in a positive, doable way.
- Listen with empathy. True understanding comes from listening, not from preparing your response while the other person speaks.
Better communication leads to stronger relationships. What’s one way you can use Nonviolent Communication today?
