My Mark: 10/10

I hear about this book a long time ago, and I finally read it in a day! It addresses plenty of interesting concepts around Empathy, Authenticity and I really enjoy his way of using the needs for better communication with ourselves TOWARDS something better. A great book worth reading, probably several times to gather all the important information.

The Pitch:

If “violent” means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm, then much of how we communicate—judging others, bullying, having a 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.”
