This pioneering text presents a four-part model for immediately connecting words with peace and well-being in relationships. This book seeks to answer two central questions: 1. How can we express what's alive in us? 2. How can we make life more wonderful? Chapters discuss using natural empathy to ease stressful situations and beat fear, thus avoiding dehumanizing communication patterns, and instead seeing through the eyes of others to foster understanding. Examples of applications in education, correctional facilities, parenting, and the business world are given. This instructive guide teaches users of all types that it is possible to meet their needs and the needs of others in a compassionate manner, beginning with the very first words they use. ![Speak Peace in a World of Conflict, back cover](https://www.cnvc.org/images/STORE/speak-peace-world-conflict-bc.jpeg) --- The purchase of items from our virtual store help support CNVC through affiliate links where we may earn a percentage of the sale.
