A Way of Being

A fine piece of writing by CR. In it he simply and powerfully communicates himself to the reader. A way of being, his way of being, laid out clearly and broadly. From that we are free to accept and take or leave what we want. I wish I had found him and his work when I was an adolescent. I've always found the person centred idea of how to usefully approach and if relevant support another person, a good compass to live by; this very accessible, little book, with its very digestible and coherent sections, places that rather proven idea in the context of pretty much all of life's aspects. At times his example, or exemplifying of this his way of being, is rather over-whelming: even then one's self-defensive reaction remains helpful; reflexively illuminating what might play out for another when they are approached in a person-centred manner.

Very thought provoking and daring. I absolutely love it. I could read it many times over ending it with the same feeling of excitement knowing that I am part of the paradigm shift. Inspired by the work carried out by large groups. A game changer.

Rogers knew about people - he treated everyone with respect and should be on the top of your reading list if you are interested in psychology.

great book

Love this book so much insight

Great book and a must read

This is a lovely gentle book that I am only half way through

Love it. Read this book years ago but now have a slight sight problem which makes reading difficult. I have a Kindle App on my pc now and I am able to enlarge the font and enjoy it all over again.
