Nonviolent Communication book, which one?

[SmartMonkey]

I remember Leo talking about two Nonviolent Communication books, and saying one was good and the other was bad. Does anyone remember which video this was in? If not, has anyone read books on this topic and can recommend one? The one by Marshall Rosenberg seems to be the most popular.

@SmartMonkey Yes Marshall Rosenberg is the original source material.

I trust people more who don't have a persona of being non-violent honestly.

The title of the book, is a misnomer. You are hung up on it.

Your loss !

I'll read it on your insistance.  I kinda take books and teachers with a grain of salt these days.

@Joseph Maynor it's more of a study of language and how we use it really. How we compress it for communication and collapse the nuance of expression due to colloquialism. Even if you do not agree with much of it, the interesting treatment of language will be curious to you (I think, anyway. I am possibly not a good judge of what piques your interest !!!)

I'm seeing language more and more as a problem of use of power with lots of hypocrisy in it.  This does not mean I reject consuming meaning anymore, but I am very skeptical.

Altering another person's written language seems borderline violent to me, just as one example.  Even though this can be concealed and fly under the radar oftentimes.

I've had many posts altered to make my statements seem incoherent or to adjust something that forces me to edit, delete, or re-post.

@Joseph Maynor you didn't answer the question.

[Natasha Tori Maru]

Anything can be done on these forums.  This is not the first forum where I have experienced having my language altered.
