Highlights
I have selected sentences or paragraphs from the book "Nonviolent Communication" for you. These contents show the depth, unique perspective, language charm, wisdom and creativity of the book, aiming to meet the professional needs of readers. Due to space limitations, I have divided these sentences or paragraphs into three parts (numbered 1-7, 8-14, 15-20) for display. Part 1 (No. 1-7) 1. "The foundation of nonviolent communication is to integrate love into life. Under this premise, our words are no longer just empty sounds out of habit, but can convey the sincere emotions and needs deep in our hearts." 2. "When we listen to others sincerely and try to understand their feelings and needs, we are practicing the deepest nonviolent communication." 3. "Criticism often implies expectations. Criticism of others actually indirectly expresses our unmet needs." 4. "Nonviolent communication encourages us to face the sufferings of life and fully experience the sadness of life and the desires of our hearts when facing setbacks." 5. "People who use violence are actually because their inner peace has been destroyed, so they use violence to maintain or seek peace of mind." 6. "The four ways to express anger are: blaming yourself, blaming others, experiencing your own feelings and needs, and experiencing the feelings and needs of others. But we are often only familiar with the first two." 7. "Once people think they will be punished if they don't agree to our request, they will see our request as an order. If we make it clear that we have no intention of forcing others, people will generally believe that we are making a request rather than an order." Part 2 (No. 8-14) 8. "When we hear something unpleasant, we have four choices: blame ourselves, blame others, understand our own feelings and needs, and understand the feelings and needs of others. Nonviolent communication encourages us to choose the latter two." 9. "When we are emotional, we usually use violent communication methods, but this will only make things worse. On the contrary, if we can calm down and listen to our own feelings and needs, we can find a more effective way to communicate." 10. "Nonviolent communication is not a sign of weakness, but a powerful force. It can help us build more harmonious interpersonal relationships and resolve conflicts and contradictions." 11. "When we listen to others with our hearts, we can not only understand their positions and feelings, but also establish a deep connection with them. This connection is based on resonance and understanding, not simple sympathy or comfort." 12. "Nonviolent communication reminds us to focus on each other's observations, feelings, needs and requests. It encourages listening, fosters respect and love, and makes us feel connected and willing to help each other." 13. "The more clearly we can express our feelings and needs, the more likely we are to gain understanding and support from others. At the same time, we can better understand the feelings and needs of others and build more harmonious relationships." 14. "Nonviolent communication is a constant reminder to focus on the direction that is more likely to satisfy our life pursuits." Part 3 (No. 15-20) 15. "When expressing gratitude, we say: (1) the behavior that is beneficial to us; (2) which of our needs have been met; (3) what kind of mood we feel after our needs are met. Such expressions make the other person feel comforted and make our own hearts richer." 16. "When expressing gratitude, we often only focus on the other person's behavior and our feelings, but ignore the efforts and costs they have made for this. Such gratitude often seems empty and perfunctory." 17. "Nonviolent communication reminds us that everyone is working hard for their own lives. When we see the efforts and contributions of others, we will cherish our relationships more." 18. "When we express gratitude sincerely, we can not only improve our relationship with each other, but also inspire more kindness and action from each other." 19. "Nonviolent communication is a way of life, not just a communication skill. It requires us to always be aware and reflective of life and get along with others in a more harmonious and loving way." 20. "Through nonviolent communication, we can better understand ourselves and others and establish more harmonious and sincere relationships. Such relationships can not only meet our emotional needs, but also promote our personal growth and social development."
