CONNECTING ACROSS DIFFERENCES
offers a comprehensive, social-change approach to Nonviolent Communication(sm) with extended, real life examples of NVC at work in diverse and challenging situations.
While focusing on interpersonal communication, Connecting across Differences considers the root causes of violence and the application of NVC in self-empathy and mediation.
Beyond explaining the basic NVC model of observations, feelings, needs and requests, Connecting Across Differences gives special attention to:
- Body-mind connection in the practice of NVC (connecting physical sensations with feelings)
- De-mystifying the practice of empathy by translating "root" words in judgments
- The energetic role of requests in coming to consensus
- A comprehensive model of NVC, including silent empathy and the "dance" between empathy, self-empathy, and self-expression.

WHAT IS NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION?
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a consciousness and skill which affirms that human beings share common, universal values and needs (such as autonomy, community, and choice) and a desire to see these needs met. By focusing on shared values and then moving on to strategies, we can find solutions that are more satisfying, effective, and empowering.
The NVC process involves making clear observations and requests and identifying the feelings and needs of all those involved in a situation to greatly enhance connection, clarity, and shared understanding.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM
NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION?
NVC has broad applications to individuals, couples, families, groups, communities, and organizations. NVC is helpful not only in learning how to resolve conflict but also in creating greater connection and authentic communication. It also offers specific skills in effective listening, nonjudgmental evaluation, mediation, needs assessment, and strategic and life planning.
