In our fast-paced world, most of us talk on autopilot, reacting with old habits that lead to misunderstandings or arguments. But what if you could speak your truth with clarity and compassion, while listening in a way that builds real connection?
'Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication' by Oren Jay Sofer is your audiobook guide to transforming how you communicate. Narrated in an engaging, unbridged format perfect for commutes or workouts, it draws on mindfulness practices, body awareness (somatics), and the proven framework of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) developed by Marshall Rosenberg.
Sofer doesn't just theory-dump; he shares practical tools you can use right away. Imagine feeling grounded before a difficult chat with your partner, colleague, or family member—no more spiraling anxiety or snapping back defensively.
