About this listen
Find your voice, speak your truth, listen deeply - a guide to more meaningful and mindful conversations.
We spend so much of our lives talking to each other, but how much are we simply running on automatic - relying on old habits and hoping for the best? Are we able to truly hear others and speak our mind in a clear and kind way, without needing to get defensive or go on the attack?
In this groundbreaking synthesis of mindfulness, somatics, and nonviolent communication, Oren Jay Sofer offers simple yet powerful practices to develop healthy, effective, and satisfying ways of communicating.
The techniques in Say What You Mean will help you to:
- Feel confident during conversation
- Stay focused on what really matters in an interaction
- Listen for the authentic concerns behind what others say
- Reduce anxiety before and during difficult conversations
- Find nourishment in day-to-day interactions

Story
How to Listen, Hear, and Validate is all about our top communication struggle - our tendency to react instead of respond, and forget that our goal is to build bridges rather than walls. You’ll learn what you’ve been doing wrong, and why your efforts at getting closer to people - in deep or light manners - have failed. You’ll learn actionable techniques and frameworks to have the most productive conversations of your life - ones that will walk away with people praising how empathetic you are.

Story
In the words of the Buddha, the four foundations of mindfulness (the four satipatthanas) are "the direct path for the purification of beings, for the surmounting of sorrow and lamentation, for the disappearance of dukkha (suffering) and discontent, for acquiring the true method, for the realization of Nibbana." Within the quintessential discourse called the Satipatthana Sutta, we find the Buddha's seminal teachings about the practice of meditation.

Relationships are usually the most important part of a person’s life. But they’re often stressful and frustrating, or simply awkward, distant, and lonely. We feel the weight of things unsaid, needs unmet, conflicts unresolved. It’s easy to feel stuck.

Great book
I took the class with Oren, and I liked that the book is read by him. It’s a nice book to listen to while walking in the morning. The information in this book is nothing I’ve read or heard before, it’s like finally understanding conversations in a new way but so simply put that I wonder why nobody thought of that before!!

Excellent! Highly recommended!
Very helpful and informative for developing the mindset required to really put NVC into practice. I have been struggling with pausing and not reacting to judgements and criticisms. The small mindfulness practices provided in this book are greatly beneficial to furthering patience, tolerance, compassion and gratitude from an NVC perspective.

BRILLIANT
starts of slowly (a little hard to get into), but buckle up! Once it gets going, there is 11 hours of pure GOLD.
Building off Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication: a language for life (another must-read), Sofer takes it to another level, adding meditation and more detailed components to the use of nonviolent communication. Every aspect of how we interact with others is expressed in this work.
Beautiful!
