Product Description
Each of the 366 meditations in this gathering of wisdom is designed to move readers away from turmoil, strife, and divisiveness and lead them toward peace, resolution, and cooperation. This shift in consciousness is challenging, but with the words and ideas of this book, readers can assemble a collection of practical tools for peaceful living.
The learned behaviors of cynicism, resentment, and getting even are replaced with the skills of Nonviolent Communication, including recognizing one's needs and values and making choices in alignment with them.
Peaceful Living goes beyond daily affirmations, providing the skills and consciousness you need to transform relationships, heal pain, and discover the life-enriching meaning behind even the most trying situations. Begin each day centered and connected to yourself and your values. Direct the course of your life toward your deepest hopes and needs. Ground yourself in the power of compassionate, conscious living.

Great Tool for Developing Compassionate Communication 
Mary Mackenzie's book opened my eyes to the importance of changing the way I communicate with people so that I can truly connect with them. I am working on giving up my judgments and criticisms in favor of focusing on the underlying feelings and needs. This book introduced a process through which I can grow and change and improve my relationships. I highly recommend it!

It misses the mark 
I want peace as much as the next person, and maybe more however this book missed the mark for me. I was looking for a daily meditation book but after a few weeks I just didn't get it. I know that peace begins with me. I felt it was a negitive book.

I don't typically go for this kind of book....
I've never been one for affirmations or daily meditations, but this book is very useful if you want to change the way you communicate and move through the world, especially if you experience social stress and frustration. It's designed like a perennial calendar, you can start on today's date and keep using the book year 'round, and start again. The format is based on the idea that you begin again each day with new opportunities to make changes, and acknowledges that change is hard, requiring daily practice. The small daily reminders take the big ideas and put them into small bite size pieces that aren't overwhelming. I am reassured that I can work on one small piece at a time, and that over time adjustments will come.

Daily help for living my values
I have been using this book for a few months now as part of my daily reading and reflection. It makes my daily practice easier because I look forward to reading each daily portion. I like the combination of principle and practical example in each meditation.
Using this book helps me remember and renew my intention to live compassionately and joyfully, based on the principles of Nonviolent Communication developed by Marshall Rosenberg.

Compassionate Connection Anytime of the Day
Ms. Mackenzie's book brings focus and connection
whenever I need to have calm and presence in my life. Each page shows her vulnerability and courage as she shares her knowledge and experience of Compassionate Communication.
I suggest this book to all participants of my workshops as it delves into the basics and advance practices of Nonviolent Communication. There is also an excellent index to quickly find topics that the reader would enjoy more clarity on.
A perfect book and excellent gift for the beginner or experienced Compassionate Communication Practicioner.
