“The world’s great spiritual traditions teach that all life, all creation, is an expression of one divine love. The sage Ramana Maharshi was once asked, “How should we treat others?” He responded, “There are no others.” Judeo-Christian belief systems are predicated on the notion of loving God and loving thy neighbor as thyself because your neighbor and the divine aren’t separate. If we aspire to embody these enlightened teachings, what are the implications for our use of language and the way we think about and interact with others? Non-Violent Communication (NVC) provides a simple, sophisticated way to reframe our language and interactions to embody this noble ideal of compassionate consciousness. It is simple and sophisticated but takes work to apply. Kathy Ziola makes it as easy as possible, so much so that even if you believe we are separate, competitive entities in a cold, cruel world, the wisdom in this book will help you get along better with everyone. She offers a wise, creative, practical guide to connecting with ourselves, preventing and healing conflict, and making life more beautiful. Highly recommended!”
“Kathy Ziola sets an ambitious goal in her book, Live Compassion, Your Daily Guidebook for Integrating Nonviolent Communication. She seeks to guide us on a daily experience with compassion – first with the self, and then with the other. As she sets out the key assumptions, principles, and components of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), she is direct and easy to follow. She is so direct, in fact, she offers 365 daily practices to deepen our insight into the benefits and empathic power of NVC. Though it gives an appropriate nod to the work of Marshall Rosenberg, the founder of NVC, this book does not engage in a theoretical analysis of his work. Instead, it’s rich with personal insight and grounded advice. Each day you get a new angle to consider, a new practice to follow, or a new focus to apply to your communication and listening needs. You learn how to listen to yourself. You learn how to listen to others. It’s an easy read. And anyone interested in the exploration of the self should read it.”
