Title: If you read the book, this workbook is just a review of it
Review: I liked the NVC (Non Violent Communication) book, but the workbook fell short of expectations. It had a chapter by chapter homework assignment, and sometimes the questions were not necessary "NVC is also known by the title ___" (one answer is Giraffe Language). I expected the Workbook to offer guidelines on refining and practicing the technique, rather than simply reviewing the chapters of the book. I read the book, I understood it, I retained it. I didn't need the workbook. There are excellent components of the workbook also - some of the thought-provoking questions were helpful in deepening my understanding. I read the workbook and did the exercises, reviewing some in an NVC group. I feel disapointed because the book was more of a review than I expected it to be. I would like to see another workbook that has more exercises to develop greater skill in the NVC techniques.
