Such a gentle and thoughtful approach to both therapy and interpersonal relationships in general. Some of the chapters were less relevant than others but his thoughts on the major lessons learned in his career (namely, self acceptance and being your honest self in all settings) was profoundly insightful. I also really appreciated his thoughts on the general trends of how people improve over time in therapy - through relationship, self-directed and towards self-acceptance and an internal set of values and locus of self-evaluation.
I learned so much from this book and I feel that every therapist should read it! Giving it 4 stars instead of 5 just because it's pretty dry and hard to read sometimes but the content is invaluable!

Not an easy read perse, but very informative. More to just read a chapter from now and then.
If I could pick one psychologist to have coffee with, Carl Rogers would be the one. On Becoming a Person is a contribution to the world of psychology. I found the beginning and latter chapters easier to read. The last chapter where he voices his thoughts on whether behavioral science will take us into the world of 1984 and Brave New World was particularly interesting reading 50 years after the book was published. The middle section was a bit of a slog. But overall still glad I read it.
