Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Heralded by the New York Times and Time as the couples therapy with the highest rate of success, Emotionally Focused Therapy works because it views the love relationship as an attachment bond. This idea, once controversial, is now supported by science, and has become widely popular among therapists around the world. In Hold Me Tight, Dr. Sue Johnson presents Emotionally Focused Therapy to the general public for the first time. Johnson teaches that the way to save and enrich a relationship is to reestablish safe emotional connection and preserve the attachment bond.

"Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering," says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book. This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in our relationships, in addictions and perfectionism, in loneliness and overwork - all the forces that keep our lives constricted and unfulfilled. Radical Acceptance offers a path to freedom, including the day-to-day practical guidance developed over Dr. Brach's 20 years of work with therapy clients and Buddhist students.

Story
The relentless pursuit of high self-esteem has become a virtual religion - and a tyrannical one at that. Our ultracompetitive culture tells us we need to be constantly above average to feel good about ourselves, but there is always someone more attractive, successful, or intelligent than we are. And even when we do manage to grab hold of high self-esteem for a brief moment, we can't seem to keep it. Our sense of self-worth goes up and down like a ping-pong ball, rising and falling in lockstep with our latest success or failure.

The nonviolent communication method focuses on a number of different concepts that all promote peaceful and wholesome ways of living that can allow you to be able to live a healthier lifestyle in terms of your mental and emotional states. Some of the basic concepts that the NVC method attempts to teach people are split up into two groups of four components that can be applied in different ways to allow you to be able to communicate more effectively with the people around you and even to be able to understand yourself and your own feelings and emotions on a much deeper level.

Publisher's Summary
What if you could defuse tension and create accord in even the most volatile situations - just by changing the way you spoke? Over the past 35 years, Marshall Rosenberg has done just that, peacefully resolving conflicts in families, schools, businesses, and governments in 30 countries all over the world. On Nonviolent Communication, this renowned peacemaker presents his complete system for speaking our deepest truths, addressing our unrecognized needs and emotions, and honoring those same concerns in others. With this adaptation of the best-selling book of the same title, Marshall Rosenberg teaches in his own words:
- Observations, feelings, needs, and requests - how to apply the four-step process of Nonviolent Communication to every dialogue we engage in
- Overcoming the blocks to compassion - and opening to our natural desire to enrich the lives of those around us
- How to use empathy to safely confront anger, fear, and other powerful emotions
Here is a definitive audio training workshop on Marshall Rosenberg's proven methods for "resolving the unresolvable" through Nonviolent Communication.

This is an amazing life changing book!!!
Any additional comments?
I would like to give it 100 starts. After just only 2 hours of listening to the book, I started using it with my children (9 and 12 year-old boys). I found online a list of needs and feelings, told everyone in the family that I’m learning a new way of speaking so, if they all could please be patient with me while I am looking for my needs and feelings to express what I would like to say. I resolved every single conflict boys had while with me. There was no need for negative consequences. It is amazing. My 12 year-old had a lot of negativity in him and luck of self-esteem. It was breaking my heart, to not be able to help him. We did affirmations every morning, meditation, manifestation, countless hours of talking about power of thought and choices that only he can make. But nothing would really help him fully enjoy his life. This book teaches how to express your care to a person and what astonishing results come after when a person realizes that someone really cares about his/her needs. I realized that even after all the work I have done with my child, he still thought that no one cared and understood what he wanted. But when I started using words “your needs” over and over, he knew that I am here for him, for his needs and feelings and not just lecturing him about what he should do in order to feel better. As a result, I don’t have to ask kids twice for anything (taking garbage out, clean their room, make their beds). They feel good and they want to help me with everything. So far it’s been only 6 days since I started working with the book, and I can totally see a difference in myself. I love the way I feel, I love the way I communicate with people (including my husband), I love that I can express my own feelings and needs without blaming anyone or feeling guilty about it. This book is an answer from heaven that I was begging for. It did change my life in such a short time and I am very grateful it found me (or I found it :) ) Thank you Dr.Rosenberg from all my heart!

Very helpful for personal & professional conflicts
Wonderful book. I only give it a lower score for performance because the author/reader does a funny voice every time he is quoting someone else. It draws me out of the moment. This book has already helped me manage a few potential conflicts in my personal and professional life. I assigned it to one of my managers to help her talk to employees in a more healthy and helpful way.

Good Concept, Hard To Make It A Habit AWFUL readin
Would you try another book from Marshall Rosenberg and/or Marshall Rosenberg?
The book itself has a great concept. It is hard to make it an everyday habit though especially if everyone else around you doesn't do the same. You practice for a while then it gets forgotten because nobody around you does the same and you just go back to your own ways.
What didn’t you like about Marshall Rosenberg’s performance?
He should have picked some professional reader. It was so slow, that I almost fell asleep listening (I had to speed it up for 1.5x the speed to make it normal) and it was very "wet", you hear every breath, swallow, mouth noise in the reading. Something that I don't want to hear loud in my ears. For this reason, I don't recommend this audio book to anyone, I would advise to read the book itself. It's a good book.

A must read hidden behind an annoying curtain.
The methods of non violent communication are fantastic, up to the point I was not able to bear the narrator anymore, it had already helped me manage a a fight with my direct boss, and turn it into a Pacific negotiation for my unmet needs, this is definitely a must read for self development.
Unfortunately, the narrator keeps gurgling and swallowing saliva every 5 words per sentence, at first I found it somewhat ASMRish, a few hours in I thought I was just not in a relaxed state to listen to it; but closing in on the last hour of the book I found I could not bear it anymore, I was having to use the book's strategies to manage anger, which I was building unnecessarily, trying to listen to the low quality of the book.
If you're in the mood for a relaxing listen, this might do it for you, but sometimes I just want a straight to the point, no lip smacking or gurgling, non interrupted narration, because the tone and voice of the narrator was fine, but very distracting with the noises. Besides, the audio is generally too low, so headphones are necessary if you plan on listening while doing chores.

I instinctively distrust self help books. This book is different.
This book exposes some very deep and troubling approaches we take when dealing with each other in every day life. We self sabotage our communications by building walls that have no purpose. This book effortlessly tears down these emotional constructs, biases and shines a light on a far more productive and frankly beautiful approach that empowers and centres us. Seriously worth the time. I will read it again and again.

Potentially life changing
I've listened to it twice in a row. There are many other great audiobooks on audible that will enrich your life, by Thich Nhat Hanh, Eckhart Tolle, Tara Brach and many more from Sounds True, and you should check those out too. But on the subject of communication, and more widely on engaging genuinely with other people and making yours and their lives richer, this book held several epiphanies for me, and will be a reference often returned to in the future. Do listen to it!

A world where everyone lived by these principles..
If only everyone in the world read this book and lived by its principles. It would be a different world, where judgement and anger were put aside in favour of understanding. Reading this book has profoundly affected my understanding of those I interact with and made me so much more empathic. It has helped me see that if I feel angry it is a mask for another emotion, and so my response needs to wait until I have identified that other emotion, so I can respond from a place of authenticity. I think the tricky part is remembering that in moments of anger and judgement, but the book does have some practical suggestions as to how to handle yourself when you feel the anger rising.
I really like the gentle and deliberate delivery of the author's narration.

True apreciation
There are not enough words to describe how I feel. This book taught me how to truly communicate, empathising with other's feelings, truly connecting with the person in front of me and myself. I was relieved when I realised that this book was what I was needing, tools to connect with my kids, to help them grow without the limitations of judgments, living full of life by honouring what is alive in them. Thank you Marshall for giving this gift to the world, you let shine our true essence. I tried this with my son and his ever anger and it took 5 mins to unlock this hole baggage of profound sadness he had been holding for years. It's almost instant the response that this way of communicating generates. So now practice and more practice, I chose to contribute to the words by being my best self. Thank you with all my heart.

A download must
I have read most of Marshall Rosenberg's books. Every one is a treasure. I have them in the Kindle and Audio format. They explain a peaceful solution to different views in different scenarios. I feel the books have been an education to me and would be to anyone else who wishes to communicate more effectively and to listen clearly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

this is good stuff!
I love the way Marshall Rosenberg deals with conflict - we all want connection and feel so good when we have it but today it's difficult to remember this. Listening to this for the 4th time I realise that when I truly listen to try to understand I get so much, at first I thought it wasn't fair because I wasn't the one talking, now I realise it doesn't matter because I get so much from listening. Thank you Marshall

Life changing
Heard about NVC on Radio 4 this summer. Wish I'd grown up with this knowledge.

I couldn't finish it.
I found the narration irritating. For me it spoilt what could have been a good book

great! if you want to sleep!
Right from start the tone, pace and droning on I couldn't stand. I'm sorry but please pay for a professional reader.. the extremely long pauses and the sound of your dry mouth trying to work up some saliva up in between sentences is unbearable.

not a how to
this book is a long book that tries to convince you that non-violent communication is good. I was convinced by the first few paragraphs, but I wanted more practical information on how to apply it. that's where this book fails. so if you want to listen to chapter after chapter and example after example about why this is good, then this book is for you. if you want to know how to apply this to your life, you will not find out. I hope the author writes another book on how to apply it

Exceptional in every way!
What made the experience of listening to Nonviolent Communication the most enjoyable?
It is exceptional and overwhelming: it reveals explanations to emotions, thoughts and behavior of myself and others that used to be felt and seen as incomprehensible, odd and simply aggressive. I wish this book fell into my hands years ago. So much emotions, energy and efforts could have been not wasted. I'm now reading all other books of the Author opening new world of understanding, compassion and joy of life. Thank you so much for this book!!!

Foundational
This book has opened my eyes to taking connecting and communicating to the next level in my life. I feel hopeful and excited in taking what I’ve learned and applying it in my relationships but most importantly in understanding myself. I’m deeply grateful for this knowledge.

Good theory
Managed to get through the poor narration by speeding it up 1.5 times. Good ideas for people who want to express themselves better and be more empathetic.

We can change the world with how we communicate
Marshall narrates this story of communicating with compassion so well! He brings the practice to life with so many examples and is a warm and caring person to listen to 🙂

Please invest in a professional narrator
I couldn't listen much but have told its excellent book, maybe to read but not listen to.
The author should stick to writing but not narrating. The tone, mouth and lip sounds is a real turn off for me.

Excellent Wisdom, with 1 disagreement
This is a book which I needed many, many years ago - of which I needed mentors and role models to act out for me to emulate the spirit of proper connection and communion: through the principles of this communication style...
Excellent wisdom contained within, and excellent examples given to help show how I can begin - right here, right now - to train this in me until I master the 'fingertip feel' for it...
I would, however, disagree with the belief about anger being somehow corrupt, unnatural thinking and taking one away from connection with life.
I would say that it is the harsh and cruel judgements 'about' what anger is, and is for, that creates the corruption, unnatural thinking and disconnecting us with life...
Forgiveness of anger, as such, in all its forms, and deep experience of feeling what the energy is without filters, helped me to realise that it is absolutely in alignment with life, connects us directly to a part of our true nature, and is, neither natural or unnatural thinking: it is more of a whole being experience of a flow of energy running far deeper than the thinking mind can reach.
Fear of it creates the distortion.
We have our reasons for fearing the destructive side...
But anger is not only destructive, as in anger being synonymous with destruction, evil, malevolence, etc...
But this is trivial next to the gold contained in this book!!!
Hopefully all of the new generations to come can learn this style of communication!!!

Just brilliant
This should be mandatory reading for every human on earth. If only everyone approached life like Marshall what a world it would be.
