Wie ich dich lieben kann, wenn ich mich selbst liebe: Ein praktischer Ratgeber zu einer neuen Art von Beziehungen

Rate this book
Liebe wird allgemein für ein starkes Gefühl gehalten, das wir für eine andere Person haben. Durch Marshall Rosenbergs Gewaltfreie Kommunikation wird uns jedoch ein völlig anderer und lebensbereichernder Zugang zur Liebe ermöglicht. Liebe ist nämlich etwas, das wir tun, etwas, das wir freiwillig und von Herzen geben. Es geht darum, völlig offen und ehrlich unserem Partner, unserer Familie und unseren Freunden zu offenbaren, was im Moment in uns lebendig ist. Menschen in aller Welt haben die Erfahrung machen können, daß die Liebe, nach der wir uns alle sehnen, durch eine Verbindung von Herz zu Herz, durch ein freudiges Geben und Nehmen entsteht. Marshall Rosenberg zeigt uns, wie wir Liebe geben und annehmen können, ohne Schuldgefühle und ohne uns zu etwas verpflichtet zu fühlen. Wir können entdecken, was in einem bestimmten Moment in einer anderen Person lebendig ist, können es empathisch aufnehmen und uns mit dem verbinden, was diese Person ausgedrückt hat und was sie sich wünscht. Auf diese Weise können ganz besondere Beziehungen entstehen, in denen es nicht darum geht, Liebe in irgendeiner Form zu beweisen.

Das war ein schwieriges Buch für mich. Vom Grundthema - Gewaltfreie Kommunikation - bin ich voll und ganz dabei, aber irgendwie hat mich das Buch doch nicht wirklich abgeholt. Vielleicht habe ich es aber auch nicht verstanden; das will ich nicht ausschließen :)
Aber wenn ich zum Beispiel sage, "Dieser Zug fährt sehr langsam", dann brauche ich keinen Trost, ich fühle keinen Schmerz, es ist vielleicht einfach eine Tatsache. Oder wenn mein Partner zu mir sagt, "Ich kann dich heute nicht oder erst später treffen, ich möchte meine Tochter von der Schule abholen", dann sage ich nicht "Ich verspüre einen Stich im Herzen".
Da waren schon ein paar seltsame Beispiele im Buch...

If you are actually serious about working on your relationships, friendships, then you MUST read this book. NVC is a promising paradigm. Despite best intentions, I am bad at expressing my feelings. And the way I end up expressing them can make someone feel as if I am putting them under a judgment lens. I used to often feel frustrated because I could never communicate my needs (yeah, happens more with females :) ) in a manner where other person did not get on defensive. So, I was laughing out loud at some points in this book because I have done exactly the things mentioned here. I am sure it takes a lot of practice to put this technique into everyday lives but then everything worth having (including beautiful relationships) needs efforts.
I had never been afraid of putting efforts but I just felt directionless. With this, I can see a concrete way of thinking and action strategy that I can try and for that reason alone, I am giving it 5 stars.

I'm giving this book only 2 starts and that's mainly due to the way it is excellently written, very easy to read without getting stuck in overly complex sentences. Unfortunately that's the only good thing I can say about the book. This is the first book I've read (partly read in this instance) on NVC, and to be honest, the anecdotal conversations are cringe worthy and I know of no situation where they would work. Talking to anyone in that way instantly gets their heckles up, it needs to be far more natural, not structured responses and cutting people off when you are "bored" with what they are saying. I'm sure this has it's place in a psychiatrists life, but not every day people trying to improve their life with others. I've got anther book on NVC to read, I just hope that one is a lot better!

I love NVC and there were some enlightening moments reading this piece. What I didn't like is that this is a transcript. I'd like to just watch the original video. There are many switches in who says what and people role-playing and switching their roles a lot which makes it very confusing to understand who is saying what to whom, if it goes to a role or then put of role play and for real. This would be much easier to understand from a video or some better clarification from the text. Or if it was rewritten from a transcript into a nonconversational text.

Another thing I didn't like was that there's quite an overlap of same stories already used in the original Nonviolent communication book, so after reading this, there's some repetition.

عشق انکار خود و انجام کاری برای دیگران نیست، بلکه عشق ابراز صادقانه‌ی هر احساس و نیازی است که داریم و دریافت همدلانه‌ی احساسات و نیازهای طرف دیگر. دریافت همدلانه به این معنی نیست که تو باید اطاعت کنی ـ صرفا دقیقا دریافت چیزی است که فرد دیگر به عنوان هدیه‌ی زندگی ابراز کرده. عشق ابراز صادقانه‌ی نیازهای خودمان است؛ این به معنی طرح درخواست آمرانه نیست، بلکه فقط، «من این هستم، این چیزی است که دوست دارم.»


در حال حاضر شمارش از دستم در رفته که این چندمین کتابی است که در حوزه‌ی ارتباط بدون خشونت می‌خونم و از لحاظ تئوری نسبت به کتاب اصلی حرف جدیدی ندارد ولی ازین لحاظ که این کتاب از روی یک جلسه پرسش و پاسخ در زمینه روابط عاطفی بوده مثال‌های خیلی خوب و عملی دارد.

مثلا: هنگام شنیدن انتقاد
وقتی طرفمان بیش از اندازه صحبت می‌کند
وقتی متوجه نمی‌شویم طرفمان واقعا چه می‌خواهد
وقتی طرفمان فکر می‌کند قصدمان مشاجره است و نمی‌خواهد حرف تلخ بشنود
وقتی عمدتا مردها با احساساتشان در تماس نیستند، یا عمدتا زن‌ها واضح خواستشان را بیان نمی‌کنند،(که البته هر دوی این‌ها ریشه‌های فرهنگی و تربیتی دارد و در مورد همه‌ی مردها و زن‌ها صادق نیست)
وقتی رابطه‌ی بلندمدت را از دست دادن هویتت می‌دانی
وقتی درخواست‌هایت آمرانه شنیده می‌شود و طرف فکر می‌کند استقلالش در خطر است
و...

زبان ارتباط بدون خشونت یک زبان قاطع است که احساسات و نیازهای هر دو طرف گفتگو بیان و شنیده می‌شود.

Mooi boek over applicatie van NVC in welke relatie dan ook en hoe het een uiting van liefde is om zo empathisch te communiceren en luisteren

Clear examples of how to redirect discussions in a clearer way and to be open for listening and understanding instead of judging

This is a great dive into applying needs based communication (aka nonviolent communication) to our most important relationships.

I highly recommend reading the intro book before reading this: Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg

Pas mon préféré parmi tout les petit livres que j'ai lu. Celui ci regorge de situation transcrite depuis une conférence de Marshall, et on passe parfois d'une phrase à une autre sans logique car le but est de traiter des thèmes précis. Par exemple « comment dire non » «découvrir ce que nous voulons » etc.
J'ai largement préféré celui sur la colère par exemple. Je conseillerais celui ci sur l'amour à des personnes qui connaissent déjà les bases de la CNV et qui veulent des exemples de scènes pour arriver à clarifier leur propos.
C'est sur, en 2023 je vais enfin lire le classique « Les mots sont des murs...» ! Assez picoré, je suis vraiment intriguée ! Vais-je en apprendre beaucoup plus avec le gros livre ? J'ai hâte de le savoir !

I did read this to at least know what it was I had been gifted.... and at times it prompted questions on how to communicate better, but...the questions it made me ask myself were more relavtn and helpful than the supposed structure he was providing. This was, first of all, too heterocentric to be relevant to all. And you can tell a man wrote this. The advice is kind of alarming at times.
Would not recommend. It's not the WORST that could be done, but definitely didn't feel like it was written for me or my relationship.

ترجمه رووان٬ ولی بعضی جاها گیج کننده و نامشخص
به نظر میرسه که کتاب ویرایش خوبی نداشته
<<از طرفی مشخص نیست که آیا این کتاب رو باید قبل از کتاب <<ارتباط بدون خشونت، زبان زندگی خواند و یا بعد از این کتاب
شخصا این کتاب اولی کتابی بود که از این نویسنده/مترجم مطالعه کردم
بهم انگیزه داده که کتاب ارتباط بدون خشونت رو هم مطالع کنم
ولی از طرفی بدون داشتن دانش از اون کتاب٬‌بهش هایی از این کتاب هم برام مفهوم نبود

i think the philosophy of NVC is great (and people who haven't heard of it before should start with the original book, not this one) but the format (mainly role playing and Q&As) wasn't ideal, and the ideas were not always crystal clear to me.
nonetheless, many good lessons and gives a good handle on how it can be challenging to implement the NVC ideas (perhaps particularly while listening).

It’s a short book, easy to read.
I couldn't help feeling the warmth and care toward humanness we all share in Dr. Rosenberg’s words shared in the book.
I consider NVC as one of the greatest arts/gifts/tools we can use to truly enjoy, celebrate who we are and to enrich our lives.
It gave me a good opportunity to meditate on what love really is and how I would want to express it.

A versão em Português, Amo você sendo quem sou, foi lançada pela Palas Athena e traz textos de palestras, entrevistas e workshops. Algumas histórias estão no livro Comunicação Não-Violenta, que, por isso, acabo recomendando mais.

Don't buy it. Wasted money. It's just a transcript of Marshall Rosenberg lectures, workshops and so on - you are better off with watching his videos online or reading his other book. Once you understand the concept of NVC, this book is redundant.

A small book, but a very dense and insightful one. I enjoyed the feeling of sitting in a seminar with Marshal Rosenberg. The dialogues are really helpful and at the same time fun to read. Great insights for any relationship. But one key is also: „Practice, practice, practice!“

This booklet has given me many insights on the way to express more assertively and being more specific with own feelings and needs and as well of others. It also states that one is conscious of others needs and respect it, however, it does not mean that I will have to give up or give in to my needs. It is possible to satisfy everyone needs if we learn to identify the core needs behind all expression.
This booklet is some sort of role-plays between Marshall Rosenborg and participants, therefore it's like more vivid experience, and I found myself taking notes constantly. A must read book...highly recommended.

This was a short summary of the NVC guidelines with examples. It was a good introduction. I intend to read his original publication next.

Short and sweet. This is essentially a transcript of a few interactions at workshops held by NVC's author. It was a nice way to review the communication framework with a little entertainment.

Rosenberg is a good guy. If you have half a brain, you should read this book. This book is GREAT. Your life will be miserable if you don’t read it.
