Based upon the key differentiations and principles of Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication™, 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. This second edition includes a 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. 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. --- ### CHOICE: Reiseführer zur Navigation durch die Polarisierung unserer Welt und für ein Leben in wechselseitiger Bezogenheit \[German\] **By Kathleen Macferran and Jared Finklestein** *„Choice“* ist ein Wegweiser im Taschenformat, der einen Raum für Refl exion schafft.
