Description: "What is Violent Communication? If 'violent' means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm, then much of how we communicate - judging others, bullying, having racial bias, blaming, finger pointing, discriminating, speaking without listening, criticizing others or ourselves, name-calling, reacting when angry, using political rhetoric, being defensive or judging who's 'good/bad' or what's 'right/wrong' with people could indeed be called 'violent communication.'

What is Nonviolent Communication? Nonviolent communication is the integration of four things:
*Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of compassion, collaboration, courage, and authenticity.
*Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance.
*Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement, and how to move toward solutions that work for all.
*Means of influence: sharing 'power with others' rather than using 'power over others.

Nonviolent Communication serves our desire to do three things:
*Increase our ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection
*Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships.
*Sharing of resources so everyone is able to benefit."- Back of book
