A Way of Being
A Way of Being | Carl Rogers
3 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
A Way of Being was written in the early 1980s, near the end of Carl Rogers's career, and serves as a coda to his classic On Becoming a Person. More personal and philosophical than his earlier writings, it traces his professional and personal development and ends with a person-centered prophecy, in which he predicts a future changing in the direction of more humaneness. Now, fifteen years later, the psychiatrist and best-selling author Dr. Irvin Yalom revisits A Way of Being, offering a contemporary view of this remarkable work.

“The intolerant "true believer" is a menace to any field, yet I suspect each one of us finds traces of that person in ourself.”

“I would prefer my experiences in communication to have a growth-promoting effect, both on me and on the other, and I should like to avoid those communication experiences in which both I and the other person feel diminished.”

I would prefer this, too, though sometimes it feels hard to achieve when our public discourse has become so polarised. This is one of the things I need to bring myself back to.

“When you are in psychological distress and someone really hears you without passing judgement on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mold you, it feels damn good!”
