Balancing Passion For Self With Compassion For Others Don't Be Nice, Be Real! is a lively, light approach to a deadly serious subject--our lives. It combines humor, radical wisdom, and new culture spirituality to teach the mechanics and spirit of Nonviolent Compassionate Communication to cure "Niceitis," a hereditary disease. The author has shown that nonviolent communication works wonders, in even the roughest of situations. He's used it with street gangs in San Diego, combined groups of Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland, and Palestinians and Israelis in the Middle East.
