Nonviolent communication : a language of life
by Marshall B. Rosenberg
This book is a great tool for learning how to communicate effectively. It shows us that when we're emotionally triggered, it's usually because a need of ours isn't being met. But if we can learn to uncover that need (which puts responsibility of our feelings back on ourself) and verbalize this to the other person, along with the emotions we're feeling, they are more likely to "hear" us, instead of becoming defensive. The book really urges us to take responsibility for our emotions and actions, instead of blaming others.
