Outstanding companion workbook

2008-06-26
This is an invaluable companion workbook for getting the most out of the textbook of the same name.

Do it and enjoy the peace

2008-02-22
This book maps the way to get in touch with feelings and needs and then shows how to get those needs met for everyone in a win/win context. Learn to let go of judgments and criticism in order to truly "see" other people and understand the needs driving their actions. Empathy and compassion for ourselves and others is the end result, making the idea of peace on earth more than "just a dream some of us had."

A superb resource for anyone seeking to improve relationships

This, and the companion book Non Violent Communication, offer very helpful insights into the effects of how we communicate with others, as well as very practical, concrete exercises for improving the effectiveness of our communication, decreasing anger and violence, and in learning to hear and understand the communications of others.

ultra basic with little practical use

The dither surrounding this workbook is unwarranted. There is little need in the world for such stilted speech.

Nonviolent Communication Companion Workbook

2007-01-09
Has info in it that the regular book doesn't have and I found it useful to understand more of what was in the regular book. I definitely would recommend finding a group to study this with for sure. The group brought it all together for me.

If you read the book, this workbook is just a review of it

2005-02-25
I liked the NVC (Non Violent Communication) book, but the workbook fell short of expectations. It had a chapter by chapter homework assignment, and sometimes the questions were not necessary "NVC is also known by the title ___" (one answer is Giraffe Language). I expected the Workbook to offer guidelines on refining and practicing the technique, rather than simply reviewing the chapters of the book. I read the book, I understood it, I retained it. I didn't need the workbook. There are excellent components of the workbook also - some of the thought-provoking questions were helpful in deepening my understanding. I read the workbook and did the exercises, reviewing some in an NVC group. I feel disapointed because the book was more of a review than I expected it to be. I would like to see another workbook that has more exercises to develop greater skill in the NVC techniques.

Plunging into Nonviolent Communication practice

2004-10-19
This is the best tool I have found to
start practicing Nonviolent Communication,
whether on your own or with a group.
I find the exercises proposed here to be
imaginative, clear, down to earth and comprehensive
of the basics of NVC.
I think this workbook enhances Marshall Rosenberg's
teachings and contributes to make them practical for
anyone.
