Online Reviews
“Rosenberg offers here a revolutionary model for education. It’s a model he helped schools put into practice. There are entire schools based on this model now. There are children in these schools learning to teach each other, learning to set objectives mutually with their teachers, choosing their teachers among their classmates, learning to resolve conflicts, and learning to play peacemaker (mediator) between one another. That’s so amazing, I teared up a lot of times when reading this book. If I had had that in school, how different my life would be now.”

“The book is clear and has solid ideas on transforming our education from one that teaches children to be dominated by their “superiors” to one that encourages them to find and express themselves powerfully and nonviolently. If all educators would read this book I believe that it would lead to a more peaceful and healthy world.”
