pickA pleasant and useful book about Non-Violent Communication, I found it more easily digestible than the original by Rosenberg. The detailed case studies especially helped me see how the method can be implemented in ordinary situations. I think the techniques described can be more useful when dealing with poor communication rather than using them to elaborate on why we feel grateful -- the latter felt somewhat forced and unnecessary to me.
I saw this on Facebook a while ago and gave the first answer 😎 but I could do one or the other.
Ten-minute TED talk
About hot men of Middle
Earth … or tartan noir
I could possibly also do one about TNR but I might get too emotional.

Even if we could set aside the rampant disinformation influencing the current regime‘s justification for ripping the guts out of federal government agencies (which is a very big “if” to take into account), it just doesn‘t make sense to do it the way they‘re doing it. As we‘ve already seen, they fired people they really shouldn‘t have fired.
True budgetary and policy analysis takes weeks if not months to accomplish properly. #longtimefed #psrw

pick#DynamicDs Day 7: I loved seeing how the two friends were able to tell each other about the things they love through their dancing hands. The Afterword provides information about Filipino Sign Language and how it is distinct from American Sign Language. People tend to assume homogeneity among the non-speaking, #differentlyabled communities, and this book shows how this is not the case. My review of this award-winning book: https://wp.me/pDlzr-r64
Dear Littens,
#BookedInTime and #WhatTheDickens I am struggling to catch up due to some new meds. I had hoped to post questions for both groups this weekend and I think I may have to switch to next weekend as I adjust to the medication. Apologies.
so-soI fell into the hype with this. Mostly it‘s what I already knew: find common ground, make connections with people rather than talking “at” them, practice active listening.
I think I mistakenly assumed this would help me crawl out of my introvert shell, but no book is likely to work that miracle! Not a bad book, and definitely one many people should read to help to understand each other better. We need more of that these days.
