Do you sometimes find it difficult to see “that of God” or the common humanity in another, even in those closest to you: your boss, partner, or child? Drawing on the work of psychologist Marshall B. Rosenberg and universal spiritual precepts, learn skills in compassionate communication and practice them in real-life situations. They will help you: Create and sustain fulfilling relationships; Remain open to others in response to painful judgments and criticisms; Express your truth so that you are most likely to be heard; Meet with compassion people whose actions seem unjust or oppressive; Empathize with others and not judge yourself.
