ANSEMBOURG, Thomas. Stop being nice; I truly! illustrated edition. Messenger, 2015.

Thomas Ansembourg It is an international reference in Nonviolent Communication (and a personal reference for me, since my training in the CNV started with him and his accompanying delved). Now he shares his deep understanding of human nature and compassionate view of conflicts with a fully illustrated version (almost comic format) his first book, Stop being nice; I truly!, a bestseller and an inexhaustible resource for reflection.

In this booklet, with illustrations Alexis Nouailhat, so simple and suggestive, Thomas d'Ansembourg his personal history (Chapter 1, “Who is this guy?”), analyzes with humor and clearly some of the basic problems we face as a people (Chapter 2, “Want to get out of the traps?”) and proposes “Some notions of Nonviolent Communication” (Chapter 3) to begin transforming our consciousness (and thereby transform our relationships and our lives), and closes with a successful “conclusions”.

With humor and apparent lightness, This book helps us pay attention to our life, with greater presence and processing capacity. It is a joy that it has released Editorial Mensajero, and it's possible see a sample of the index and some illustrations on their website.

Hope you enjoy it as much as the IM.
