Learn how to use NVC in your life with
founder Dr. Marshall Rosenberg:

"Marshall 's unique message gives teachers easy steps for peaceful communication and a new way to work with children and parents."

- Barbara Moffitt, executive director, National Center for Montessori Educators

 

“In our present age of uncivil discourse and mean-spirited demagoguery, the principles and practices of NVC are as timely as they are necessary to the peaceful resolution of conflicts, personal or public, domestic or international.”

- Midwest Book Review, Taylor 's Shelf

 

“As far as nonviolence and spiritual activism, Marshall Rosenberg is it! Applying the concepts within these books will guide the reader towards a fostering more compassion in the world.”

- Marianne Williamson, author, Everyday Grace and honorary chairperson, Peace Alliance

 

“Education is not simply about teachers covering a curriculum; it is a dance of relationships among the people of the class. This how-to guide presents a wide range of powerful communication and relationship tools that will help each child discover and reach their potential.”

- Tim Seldin, president, The Montessori Foundation

 

“Nonviolent Communication is a practical and necessary work that should be required reading by every state department of education in the nation, and adopted for immediate and continuous use in our school districts. Nationally, we talk peace. This book goes far beyond mere talk—it shows us how to TEACH peace.”

- James E. Shaw, Ph.D., author, Jack and Jill, Why They Kill

 

“ Marshall 's unique message gives teachers easy steps for peaceful communication and a new way to work with children and parents.”

- Barbara Moffitt, executive director, National Center for Montessori Educators

 

“Schools in which students and teachers relate as partners—where Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication is part of every interaction—are communities of learning, rather than top-down, impersonal factories. Young people begin to see school as a safe and exciting place of exploration where they can share feelings and ideas, and where each child is recognized, valued and nurtured.”

- Riane Eisler, author, The Chalice and the Blade, Tomorrow's Children and The Power of Partnership

 

“Like Noam Chomsky, Rosenberg 's work is intrinsically radical, it subverts our whole status-quo system of power: between children and adults, the sane and the psychotic, the criminal and the law. Rosenberg 's distinction between punitive and protective force should be required reading for anyone making foreign policy or policing our streets.”

- D. Killian, reporter, On The Front Line, Cleveland Free Times

 

“In this book you will find an amazingly effective language for saying what's on your mind and in your heart. Like so many essential and elegant systems, it's simple on the surface, challenging to use in the heat of the moment and powerful in its results.”

- Vicki Robin, co-author, Your Money or Your Life

 

“Changing the way the world has worked for 5,000 years sounds daunting, but Nonviolent Communication helps liberate us from ancient patterns of violence.”

- Francis Lefkowitz, reporter, Body & Soul

 

“A revolutionary way of looking at language. If enough people actually make use of the material in Nonviolent Communication we may soon live in a more peaceful and compassionate world.”

- Wes Taylor, Progressive Health

 

“Speak Peace sums up decades of healing and peacework. It would be hard to list all the kinds of people who can benefit from reading this book, because it's really any and all of us.”

- Dr. Michael Nagler, author, America Without Violence and Is There No Other Way: The Search for a Nonviolent Future

 

“Speak Peace is set apart from the fine body of literature on the subject of nonviolence by its fundamental intimacy with the complexities of human nature. Rosenberg brings us globally critical evidence that how and what we speak reflects who we are and embodies what we will become.”

- Dr. Barbara Fields, executive director, The Association for Global New Thought

 

“Many books on communication are strong on theory but impractical on application. Marshall Rosenberg's instant classic is the stand out exception. It is clear and compelling in its logic and flat-out inspiring in its inviting exposition of usable techniques and strategies. If enough people read this book, the world will transform.”

- Hugh Prather, author, The Little Book of Letting Go, Shining Through, and Morning Notes

 

“Speak Peace in a World of Conflict offers a gift of spirit, theory and nonviolent communication experience from which every seeker of peace within and without can learn. It complements John Burton's Deviance, Terrorism and War as a guide to mutual need-fulfilling processes of problem-solving to realize nonviolent conditions of global life.”

- Glenn D. Paige, author, Nonkilling Global Political Science; founder, Center for Global Nonviolence

 

“Speak Peace demonstrates how we can make our deepest yearnings for a harmonious world come true. Through stories and exercises, this book shows us simple yet subtle practices for creating peace—internally, externally, and institutionally. If you want to do your bit to create a happier world, get fluent in this process!”

•  Diana Lion, associate director and prison program director, Buddhist Peace Fellowship

 

“Marshall Rosenberg's dynamic communication techniques transform potential conflicts into peaceful dialogues. You'll learn simple tools to defuse arguments and create compassionate connections with your family, friends, and other acquaintances."

- John Gray, author, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus

 

“Dr. Rosenberg has brought the simplicity of successful communication into the foreground. No matter what issue you're facing, his strategies for communicating with others will set you up to win every time.”

- Anthony Robbins, author, Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power

 

“Speak Peace is a book that comes at an appropriate time when anger and violence dominate human attitudes. Marshall Rosenberg gives us the means to create peace through our speech and communication. A brilliant book.”

- Arun Gandhi, president, M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, USA
