Story
In this best-selling book, one of America's most distinguished psychologists crystallises the great progress that has been made in the development of the techniques and basic philosophy of counselling. Carl Rogers gives a clear exposition of procedures by which individuals who are being counselled may be assisted in achieving for themselves new and more effective personality adjustments. Contemporary psychology derives largely from the experimental laboratory or from Freudian theory. It is preoccupied with minute aspects of animal and human behaviour or with psychopathology.

In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

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 Carl Rogers's 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 and ends with a prophetic call for a more humane future.

Critic reviews
"This fourth edition has all the strengths of the previous editions but includes a new chapter on recent developments in person-centred theory and practice, as well as a chapter on developments in research by John McLeod. The chapter on research, which comes at the end of the book, is an excellent explanation of why person-centred practitioners must both be informed by and engage with research, which will totally convince the doubters (like me). The book remains an invaluable introduction to person-centred concepts and can be used as both a reference and a reminder for those already familiar with the approach, to inform practice, enrich supervision or as a study aid for students. It is a resounding riposte to those who continue to refuse to acknowledge the clinical relevance and proven efficacy of this approach." (Val Simanowitz, Person-Centred BACP Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor Therapy Today)
"Person-Centred Counselling in Action continues to inform and inspire my doctoral students and lead them to a deeper, much more nuanced understanding of the Person-Centred approach. Moreover, the book has been invaluable in instilling many of the core principles that enable them to become skilled practitioners, mindful of what the therapeutic relationship really means' (Dr. Susan Maise Strauss, senior university teacher in counselling psychology, City University London)
"This book has influenced a generation of counsellors and the new edition continues to offer insight and wisdom." (Janet Tolan, Psychotherapist and author of Skills in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy)

Oliver Burkeman explores why people are often more successful - as are organisations, armies and governments - when they focus on reasons they are likely to fail; asks where happiness comes from, and whether we look for it in the wrong places; explores a phenomenon that has come to be called 'fungineering' – attempts to boost happiness in the workplace; and confronts what many of us see as the most negative of all experiences: death.

Story
Kristin Neff changed how we talk about self-care with her enormously popular first book, Self-Compassion. Now, 10 years and many studies later, she expands her body of work to explore a brand-new take on self-compassion. Although kindness and self-acceptance allow us to be with ourselves as we are, in all our glorious imperfection, the desire to alleviate suffering at the heart of this mindset isn't always gentle, sometimes it's fierce.

Story
In this best-selling book, one of America's most distinguished psychologists crystallises the great progress that has been made in the development of the techniques and basic philosophy of counselling. Carl Rogers gives a clear exposition of procedures by which individuals who are being counselled may be assisted in achieving for themselves new and more effective personality adjustments. Contemporary psychology derives largely from the experimental laboratory or from Freudian theory. It is preoccupied with minute aspects of animal and human behaviour or with psychopathology.

Blew my mind!
As a counselor in training, this book was so helpful and eye opening for me. When I was first introduced to Person centered counseling, it seemed simplistic or basic to me, a theory for beginners or people who don't take counseling seriously. Now I see the opposite is true. Person centered counseling, while lacking the fancy techniques of other theories, makes greater demands on the counselor than any other theoretical approach because you have to be vulnerable and offer the client a real relationship with a real human being. You have to b committed to growing as a person.
This audiobook is clear, concise, accessible, and offers tons of real life examples of Person centered counseling in action, so it's not just all dry theory.

Fantastic
This was a really great book on the theory and how to put it in practice. I have read a few books on Person-centered therapy and this one was the best and easiest to understand. I really enjoyed it.

A Useful Book for Professionals and Laypersons
This book covers key terms used in conjunction with Person-Centred Therapy. There is a review of techniques, used in this treatment modality with the clear explanation that use of techniques is less important than in other treatment forms. What may be most useful, about the book, is the vignettes, providing examples of how Person-Centred Therapy is applied in session.
