The late Carl Rogers, founder of the humanistic psychology movement and father of client-centered therapy, based his life's work on his fundamental belief in the human potential for growth. A Way of Being was written in the early 1980s, near the end of Carl Rogers's career, and serves a...more

I stole this book from my little brother, who took a seminar on existential and humanistic psychology during his last semester of college. Lucky duck!
Anyway, Carl Rogers is badass. I taught Introduction to Psychology this summer for the third time, and whenever we discuss his person-centered approach, I get bemused questions such as, 'So he just...listened to his clients? Really listened to them? And it worked?' Well, yes. Essentially, Carl Rogers articulated the idea that what makes a therapist...more

Carl Rogers, a giant of psychological history, has here written personal essays - which read almost like a diary - about his way of being which center on authenticity, openness, empathy, gentleness, and love. It is a book about being human, loving oneself, loving others. It was absolutely wonderful and has undoubtedly changed the direction of my studies. Rogers calls his approach a 'home-brewed' brand of existentialism that follows in the footsteps of Kierkegaard and Martin Buber, two of my phil...more

i am not sure when i first read this book, but i think it was some time in high school (a book i saw from my dad's large collection of philosophy/psychology/mythology books).
as i read this, it inspired me to read more psychology books to motivate me to a better misunderstanding of myself and the world around me.
too bad, i am not 'school smart', or else i would become a psychologist (never a psychiatrist!). although, after meeting a random person (indian with half singaporean blood) who said that...more

This was excellent. I started out loving it, though it got a bit dry around the middle. Each chapter is essentially a different essay by Rogers, so my enjoyment varied per chapter. I found the last chapter, The World and the Person of Tomorrow, to be particularly moving.

This book was recommended to me as supplementary reading for a counselling skills course. As a result, I came to it already familiar with the basic principles of Rogerian therapy and a high appreciation for Carl Rogers' approach to individuals and groups. He believed that people have within themselves the resources and insight to chart their own destiny in life, and that all they need is to be reminded of their personal power in order to take it back and solve their own problems. The book itself...more

This is one of a handful of books that changed my life.
I'm just now glancing over my professional library, and I find I have like 8 books on neuropsychology and no interest in that topic. I did a lot of reading that I didn't want to do in graduate school. Rogers saved my life. I read A Way of Being and I cried the whole time. Those tears are the foundation of who I am today.
I didn't cry because the subject matter is sad. I cried because I recognized something in it. I was at the time struggling...more

This book is a collection of speeches and writings from Carl Rogers reflecting on his extensive experience in Psychology. He has had a big influence on the world of psychology in moving away from a prescriptive approach (I know what's best for you) to a non-directive approach (let the patient lead). It's very interesting and has certainly been a model of application in my own pastoral training. He makes reference to eastern philosophies of leadership which I also find fascinating - this sense of...more

The book is a collection of Rogers’ papers done on different aspects of his person centred approach, organised into three main sections: personal experiences and perspectives, the person centred approach in psychotherapy, and it’s application in education.
The first noticeable quality of his writing is the clarity of it. The wordings are precise, the logic coherent, and even the slightest confusion over what he meant is almost not possible. The clarity is so noticeable that it naturally reminds...more

The book was like a heavy weight title fight between what I did like versus what I found to be disagreeable. While reading, I thought what was interesting would outweigh what seemed to be the parts I didn't like and then he would say something that I could not let slide. The author brushed upon the metaphysical and psychic powers of anecdotal evidence and I found it hard to ignore and felt like it brought down his credibility. At times he had eloquent profound prose, that make you stop and conce...more

There isn't much I can say about this book that isn't already in the blurb. The book has four major parts and these parts are further divided into chapters. The first part talks about his personal experiences and retrospectives on reaching certain age-related milestones. The second part discusses his approach to his work. The third part discusses education and it's future. The fourth and final part discusses Dr. Rogers' personal ideal scenario of the future.
In my own experience, I had heard of D...more

As much as I respect Carl Rogers as a pioneer of humanistic approach in our society, his core idea has disseminated to many self-help gurus of today that I didn't find his core message dull. I'm talking especially about the last chapter 'The Person of Tomorrow'. Be opened, authentic, nature-loving, caring, etc. It could be because I was already somewhat familiar with Buddhism material.
Still, there're a few ideas I picked up:
'With greater self-awareness, a more informed choice is possible, a choi...more

I hesitant to say that I finished this, because I very clearly skimmed and skipped several chapters due to the repetitive nature of the essays, particularly considering that I have finished On Becoming A Person (which is one of my all time favourite book). In retrospect I am not convinced that this book added any particular depth that was missing from On Becoming A Person, aside from more vignettes about group work and a person centred approach to the classroom.
