Bedside Reading
Nonviolent Communication
I'm really delighted today to welcome Scott Weingart to Bedside Reading. Scott is an emergency critical care physician from New York and the host of the EMCrit blog and podcast https://emcrit.org/
We are today talking about Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg. This is such a brilliant accessible book which has really got me thinking a lot about what we need, how important bringing our own feelings into a conversation are, but the importance of owning those feelings, observing what is going on, being responsible only for ourselves, and recognising that when we choose to do something, rather than feel compelled to do it, everything is so much better. I have loved rediscovering this book, and it has been absolutely fantastic to talk about it, with Scott.
