Review: Excellent Resource to Deepen Communication - I am a veteran educator and rely on my communication skills to work with students, families and administrators. Delivering messages so they can be heard, and listening to others so they can feel seen and heard is a huge part of my professional existence. If you are interested in deepening your communication and apply mindfulness, self awareness (cognitive, affective and somatic) and concepts from Rosenberg’s Non-Violent Communication, this book is highly recommended. This is a VERY well written book by Oren Jay Sofer. The concepts (Oren refers to them as principles) and teachings are well structured and organized so that you are able to process the concepts multiple times during the book to really grasp and let them sink in. Oren shares contemplative practices that support the communication principles and at the end of the chapters, recaps with bullet points and with mini Q and A’s, further exploring the “what ifs” when applying the practice/principles. The list of Roadblocks to Communication was enlightening as there were some in there that didn’t appear as roadblocks, but looking deeply can get in the way of connecting with others. There is much wisdom and heart in the principles. His “pairing” of Practices (mindfulness related to help build presence, relational awareness, curiosity and care) to apply the principles in communication with others were helpful when I first started. It gave me a felt experience of what my body and mind needed to be when trying out the principles with others. I also enjoyed his direct and accessible style of writing about the concepts/principles, real life anecdotes (relatable, makes all of us Human!) and the meditation practices (guided online) that come with the book. A great book to read with a partner to embark on a journey to strengthen communication, for book clubs or summer reading for those who work closely with people and want to deepen connection with others through empathy and curiosity. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Review: The Best Resource for Conscious Communication and Building Better Relationships - This is one of my favorite books for learning effective communication. Oren so masterfully blends mindfulness with Nonviolent Communication, offering principles that are both practical and deeply conscious. As one of my favorite mindfulness teachers, his insights on conscious communication have been transformative for me personally and professionally. As a psychologist, I often recommend his work to my clients because of its clarity, accessibility, and profound impact. Whether you're seeking to improve platonic, romantic, professional, or even familial relationships, Oren's teachings provide invaluable tools for creating more authentic and compassionate connections. I’m so grateful to have learned (and continue learning) from Oren—his teachings are truly a gift.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Resource to Deepen Communication

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pragmatic and helpful, you will see results
*by K***D on July 25, 2019*

Initially I bought this book because, as a therapist, I thought it would be a nice supplement to the interpersonal effectiveness skills unit I was teaching in my DBT group. I specifically wanted to use a short excerpt on judgment and assumption in communication so I went directly to that section of the book and copied a few pages, but I honestly never intended to read the rest of the book. A few months later I saw it on my bookshelf and decided to give it a chance and I'm so glad I did!! This book is a gem. The beginning of the book guides the reader into an exploration of their own personal and unique communication patterns, normalizing the human tendency and desire to get our needs met at any cost, and provides this insight in a gentle spirit of non judgment. The author assists the reader in recognizing and identifying their own ineffective, and sometimes damaging, communication patterns. The next part of the book introduces a plethora of communication techniques and skills and demonstrates how to utlize and implement these skills in a way that honors each persons feelings and meets their unique relational needs. The skills the author provides create a distinct map that one can utilize to weave effortlessly thru difficult conversations and stressful interactions. I cant emphasize enough how helpful and pragmatic these skills are, and with practice, they have a noticeable impact on relationships and interactions. The book is academic yet it is also an easy and enjoyable read. The sheer number of skills introduced can feel overwhelming at times, but that is just a minor criticism. I have one suggestion and that would be to include, at the end of the book, a list of all the skills taught, a ranking of importance, and a formula to assit with implementatiom of these skills, such as, " start with this skill and then, when comfortable, add this skill, and so on." All and all, I am so happy to have found this book and i would definitely read other books by this author.
