N-V-C


Today we are featuring the author of the book we mentioned yesterday, 
"Non-Violent Communication: A Language of Life".
Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg is an incredible man who has developed this communication technique of listening and responding from the heart. He believes that if we learn how to express our needs clearly, then we will have a better chance of getting them met. He's worked all around the world using his techniques to help on a macro scale (peacemaking in world conflict) as well as micro levels (marriage and family therapy) He's the bomb AND he's from Detroit!
His journey towards non-violent communication developed while he was a child during the race riots in Detroit. He says from that day on he's been preoccupied with two questions:
                What happens to disconnect us from our compassionate nature, leading us to 
                 behave violently and exploitatively?
                What allows some people to stay connected to their compassionate nature 
                under even the most trying circumstances?

What do you guys think about these questions? 
Any reactions or responses? If you would like to learn more about Dr. Rosenberg please check out the link below or feel free to ask us some questions!
