Book Review: Speak Your Truth with Love and Listen Deeply

Amy Kendrick is the Branch Manager for May Memorial Library. You can reach her at akendrick@alamancelibraries.org.


Speak Your Truth with Love and Listen Deeply. Sofer, Oren Jay. Sounds True; 2022.


During the height of COVID, I started studying communication with Oren Jay Sofer, a certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication or NVC. I recently discovered that one of his titles Speak Your Truth with Love and Listen Deeply is available as an audiobook on our library’s digital platform Hoopla. The book covers many of the topics we discuss in his classes, and I think that people looking to improve their communication skills in the new year will find the information helpful.
