Nonviolent Communication was developed during the 1960s in direct response to anti-Semitism
and anti-Black racism. The principles of NVC are heavily influenced by the Gandhian principle of
nonviolence and the work of Martin Luther King Jr., focusing on fostering compassionate,
empathetic connection rather than blame or judgment. Nonviolent communication is a proven
strategy for effecting positive change in organizations, interpersonal relationships, and one’s own
internal experience. NVC principles have been used effectively to combat echo chambers, reach
across political divides, and even deprogram cult members. In our polarized society, these skills are
needed more than ever.

practical way.
