A Way of Being

by Carl R. Rogers

Rogers's late essays: the person-centred approach extended to education, groups and the world, and his reflections on ageing. Warmer and more personal than the earlier book.

Skip it if…

you have not read On Becoming a Person.

Try instead: Toward a Psychology of Being →

Three things you will actually use

  1. The approach is a way of being, not a technique.
  2. Empathy is the most potent force.
  3. Keep growing while ageing.

Do this first

Read 'Growing Old: Or Older and Growing'.

Our verdict

Late Rogers.
