Choice is a pocket-sized guide book about creating a reflective space where the reader can explore choices and philosophical perspectives that go beyond right and wrong and into the realm of interdependent relationship. Based upon the key differentiations and principles of Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communicationâ¢, this book provides a rigorous investigation of the life-serving motivation embedded in concepts which sometimes appear as polar opposites. Through differentiation and nuanced exploration of these concepts, light is shed on the life-serving purpose at both ends of a seeming continuum between ideas. Readers are invited to apply, on a personal level, a consciousness that leads to self-responsibility, connection and collaboration. Choice will be of benefit to individuals, community leaders, city councils, schools, and organizations in their work with conflict resolution, more effective communication, decision-making, etc.

This second edition includes an new appendix giving an overview of Nonviolent Communication, as well as a new appendix outlining an inquiry process that readers can use to work with the concepts in the book to discover ways to apply those concepts to their relationships and day to day lives.

Industry Reviews

"Organizations, like eco-systems, are communities of

inter-connectedness and inter-dependence. If you are

a leader who wants to develop your ability to discern

and make choices that lead to results which enrich and

sustain your organizational community, you will want to

access Choice as a resource time and again."

-Christine Flaherty, MHA, Healthcare Executive

"Choice is a powerfully moving book about our experiences

and understandings of this complex and paradoxical

world. The language is beautiful and poetic. The structure

encourages us to reflect on the ways we understand and

act in the world and to see for ourselves the deeper value

in viewing the world from a perspective of interdependence

and harmony while helping us realize our cultural training

to individualism and separateness keeps us from being our

most healthy selves. At this intense time in the world,

this book provides a profound meditation on life and hope

for our collective future."

-Reverend Dr. Bob Salt, Professor of Human Development

and Family Studies

"Choice provides an ongoing and meaningful support to

leaders, trainers, social workers, therapists - anybody

who uses communication in their work. Each reading of

Choice brings more clarity into the way one interacts

with oneself, others and life itself."

-Robert KrÅ¾iÅ¡nik, MSc. Psych., CNVC Certified Trainer

and Mediator
