Marshall Rosenberg was an American psychologist and the founder of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a communication process that emphasizes empathy and understanding in interpersonal interactions. Born in 1934, he developed NVC to help people express their needs and feelings without blame or judgment, fostering more compassionate connections. Rosenberg's work has influenced various fields, including conflict resolution, education, and psychotherapy. He authored several books, including "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life," which outlines his methods and principles. His teachings continue to inspire individuals and organizations seeking to improve communication and resolve conflicts peacefully.
