I'm simultaneously traveling through On Becoming A Person by Carl Rogers and my psyche. Wonderful read, and furthers some of the ideas I've picked up in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and a couple other books I've read over the past year...

"On Becoming a Person" by Carl Rogers, not so much the content, but because the concept is foundational. And "Hidden Order" by John Holland provides a lens for our social existence. They changed how I see myself and how I see my place in the world.

"On becoming a person" by Carl R. Rogers.

He defines Psychotherapy as merely a special case of any relationship, where the relationship will help you grow by allowing you to overcome built up incongruence. Many technical books made me change my perspective, but few were as valuable as this. Although it is easy to read, it can be quite hard to understand. It comes along as non-scientific, but many of his ideas and findings have been substantiated by empirical studies in the past.
