  Using straightforward language, vivid examples and compelling stories, author and activist Marshall Rosenberg shows how the principles of nonviolent communication can literally change the way we speak with one another, leading to mutual respect and deeper understanding. Beginning with methods of resolving personal conflicts, from intimate relationships and parenting issues to workplace clashes, Rosenberg shows how these same methods can work on a larger scale, bringing peoples and nations together though his time-tested approach to resolving conflicts peacefully. Rosenberg has applied the principles of nonviolent communication in even seemingly intractable situations, including war zones such as Rwanda and Bosnia, with remarkable results. Here he shows how these principles can change not only our personal communication styles but also, ultimately, the world.

• We Can Work It Out: Resolving Conflicts Peacefully and Powerfully (2004)
  In over 40 years of mediating conflicts—between parents and children, husbands and wives, management and workers, police and communities, and warring groups around the world—Marshall Rosenberg has learned it is possible to resolve conflicts peacefully, and to everyone's satisfaction. It's not compromise—it's a caring and respectful quality of connection between the parties in conflict that meets everyone's needs.
  
  Get to the Heart of the Matter — Most of us lack the vocabulary to express what we're feeling or needing, but we are well trained at pointing fingers at others as the "cause" of our pain. When people trust that their feelings and needs are valued - and heard - it immediately helps reduce tension and hostility, opening the door for peaceful resolution. Applying Dr. Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process inspires genuine cooperation by focusing on the unmet needs behind the conflict. Whether you're a professional mediator or wishing to resolve a conflict with your spouse, child or colleague, NVC offers practical, usable technique to get to the heart of the issue.

• The Surprising Purpose of Anger: Beyond Anger Management -- Finding the Gift (2005)
  You can feel it when it hits you. Your face flushes and your vision narrows. Your heartbeat increases as judgmental thoughts flood your mind. Your anger has been triggered, and you're about to say or do something that will likely make it worse.
  
  You have an alternative. By practicing the Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process you can use that anger to serve a specific, life-enriching purpose. It tells you that you're disconnected from what you value and that your needs are not being met. Rather than managing your anger by suppressing your feelings or blasting someone with your judgments, Marshall Rosenberg shows you how to use anger to discover what you need, and then how to meet your needs in constructive ways.
