Nonviolent Communication [book]

So, I finished reading Nonviolent Communication, as recommended by
bluepapercup a while back.
I would recommend it. I suspect that different people will get different things from reading the book, but altogether I think the basic premises of the book hold true for me. The thing I'm focusing on for the moment is the concept of explicitly tuning in to other peoples' feelings and needs, as well as expressing my own feelings and needs. I think I've identified that this is a point where I often get impatient and struggle.
I am also thinking of the book as a component of my personal interest in pacifism. The Book of Forgiving fits in the same category.
I regret that I did not have a chance to have a more extensive conversation with my dad about a course he's currently taking, on "emotional intelligence." He says it is largely aimed at people working in business settings, but perhaps there are other things to be gleaned from it.
Up next, I'll read a book about sailing.
