More quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
I try never to hear what another person thinks of me. I enjoy life a lot more when I spend as little time as possible hearing or thinking about what other people think about me. I go to the needs behind the thoughts. Then I'm in a different world.
Marshall B. Rosenberg

Marshall B. Rosenberg
We are responsible for what we hear other people say and for how we act.

Marshall B. Rosenberg
Plans to exact retribution are never going to make us safer.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
When we listen for feelings and needs - we can see that people who seem like monsters are simply human beings whose language and behavior sometimes keep us from seeing their humanness.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Some people use NVC to respond compassionately to themselves, some to create greater depth in their personal relationships, and still others to build effective relationships at work or in the political arena. Worldwide, NVC is used to mediate disputes and conflicts at all levels.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Our survival as a species depends on our ability to recognize that our well-being and the well-being of others are in fact one and the same.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Empathy gives you the ability to enjoy another person's pain.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
I think that there is a problem with rewards and consequences because in the long run, they rarely work in the ways we hope. In fact, they are likely to backfire.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Never connect yourself with the other person's pain. Just hear their need. Leave yourself out of the other person's feelings and needs.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
My ultimate goal is to spend as many of my moments in life as I can in that world that the poet Rumi talks about, 'a place beyond rightness and wrongness.
