Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life

Out of 36 books I read this year, these 4 positions have the biggest impact on my life: The gene: an intimate history by Siddhartha Mukherjee - fascinating book about genes and medicine. Author explains ~150 years of experiments and findings in genetic science without going into technical details. The child in you by Stefanie Stahl - it is one of the most important books I ever read. This book helped me understand myself, discover and overcome some of my traumas. Nonviolent communication: a language of life by Marshall Rosenberg - very good handbook for improving your communication skills. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - when I think of this book word "charming" comes to my mind.

Non Violent Communication, a language of life - Marshal Rosenberg

Non Violent Communication I found it as a recommendation on HN sometime ago and I would recommend it to software people especially as we can be an argumentative bunch. It helped me with relationships at home and at work

The book "Non-violent Communication" changed my life. After I read it, I had some of the best communication with romantic partners I ever had. I also had fights with friends transform into heartfelt conversations when I was practicing NVC, even though my friends weren't practicing it.

I have not read the book "Nonviolent Communication," but anecdotally, the several people I know who have mentioned reading this book tend to speak in an abnormally passive aggressive, condescending, and overbearing way. I am curious if this is just a fluke or if others have had the same experience.

+1 on "Nonviolent Communication" - if anyone is interested I have some directive like notes from the book here https://blog.abuiles.com/reading-feed/nonviolent-communicati...
