CHAPTER 1

Practical Spirituality


* * *

A Q&A Session with Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D.


Whenever Marshall Rosenberg speaks about deeply held beliefs — spirituality, concepts of God, views of love — two themes always emerge: 1) the greatest joy springs from connecting to life by contributing to our own and others' well-being, and 2) spirituality and love are more about what we do than what we feel.

People frequently ask Marshall how he got to that place, how he relates to the religious beliefs of others, and what his views mean for

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical exercises for relating to others (and self) without judgement

F.E. · May 20, 2019

At the heart of most spiritual tradition is the instruction to love. Rosenberg has assembled a technique for helping others to relate to others and themselves in love, which is the lack of judgement. His technique uses language as one of the main ways to align people with this way of thinking. It’s a great tool. This book has been assembled from question and answer sessions with Rosenberg — it wasn’t expressly written as a book. So while I appreciated the focused collection of thoughts, it’s a repeat of many other books and lectures I’ve read/listened to. If you’ve already read a lot of Rosenberg, it’s good to know this so that you’re not expecting anything different. If you haven’t read much about Rosenberg’s philosophy, then I think you’ll really enjoy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading

R. · June 7, 2011

This tiny little book contains the spiritual connection that is the basis of non-violent communication. If I ever had a list of essential reading, this book would be on it. Speaking PeaceSpeaking Peace is a great audio book is you want an audio companion to non-violent communication. Practical Spirituality: The Spiritual Basis of Nonviolent Communication (Nonviolent Communication Guides)Recommended for everyone. Marshall Rosenberg should win the Nobel Peace Prize for this concept in action.

Brilliant book for anyone familiar with marshalls work, life changing and great for ANY spiritual path!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helps to describe the power of NVC

M.A. · October 22, 2011

It is hard to think and believe that Marshall Rosenberg's NVC framework and knowledge could point to such a simple direct connection to the spiritual side of life . . . it does. I highly recommend this book if upon reading other NVC materials or reviewing the YouTube videos, your intuition is pointing to the underlying spirituality of NVC. This book makes clear what you sensed.I really wish I had learned of this as a teen. Excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you don't know what is spirituality then read it :)

L.A. · December 21, 2011

I got curious about this book since I had read the basic book from Rosenberg and had felt it so transforming that ther should be something more inside his teachings. And this book on spirituality revealed it. In fact by practicing NVC we can create a better world and it helps to unveil the compassion and love that we all have and share. I also appreciated is very simple understanding of spirituality, without any religious views and the like.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful book

M.S. · May 30, 2014

Dr marshall rosenberg gives wonderful insight into the spirituality within nvc. He is very open about how he values spirituality and its connection with nvc

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!

b. · April 9, 2016

So glad I discovered NVC. I wish it had been taught in school when I was there. It's never too late to turn the tide. Stop the fearful rhetoric and embrace NVC and the world may have a chance to heal and be at peace.
