A profound and deeply personal collection of essays by renowned psychologist Carl Rogers.

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 his distinguished career, and serves as a coda to his classic On Becoming a Person. More philosophical than his earlier writings, it traces his professional and personal development from the 1960s to the 1980s and ends with a prophetic call from Rogers for a more humane future.

    Thus, prizing or loving and being prized or loved is experienced as very growth enhancing. A person who is loved appreciatively, not possessively, blooms and develops his own unique self. The person who loves nonpossessively is himself enriched. This, at least, has been my experience.

    It is as though he listened
    and such listening as his enfolds us in a silence
    in which at last we begin to hear
    what we are meant to be.

    The perfected man . . . does not interfere in the life of beings, he does not impose himself on them, but he “helps all beings to their freedom (Lao-tse).” Through his unity, he leads them too, to unity, he liberates their nature and their destiny, he releases Tao in them.
    (BUBER, 1957)

    I suppose that my effort with people has increasingly been to liberate “their nature and their destiny.”
    Or, if one is seeking a definition of an effective group facilitator, one need look
