This month I hosted an introduction workshop to Non-Violent Communication topic. I re-read book another 3 times in preparation for the workshop and got my read count to around 7. When I tried to distil it, apart from removing examples I couldn't remove anything else. Everything is to the point and relevant.
The book doesn't stop to excite me and I keep finding more gems in it. This time the self-empathy part stood out to me. Interesting that while the concepts appear simple, I found it takes time for me to fully absorb and adopt it over the years. I think a lot of friction goes to a lack of exposure to those concepts outside the book, as it's extremely rare to hear in practice from other people.
