What is our nature as human beings? What is a good life? How can we shape life in such a way that everyone perceives it as wonderful? These are the starting questions for Marshall Rosenberg, through which he arrives at insights for effective social change. Social change begins with freeing ourselves from everything that is not in harmony with the world we want to create. In order to create this desired world, our ability to connect with others in a way that allows us to meet their needs just as we meet our own is paramount. The energy released by this connection motivates action and mobilizes. Marshall Rosenberg encourages us to put this ability to serve human, social, and societal needs, and he shows us concrete examples of how this can be done.
