Rogers had a major influence on my decision to pursue psychology and counseling. Even after licensure I'll make a large part of my practice psychotherapy. His ideas really hit on "what works" in therapy; e.g. - a relationship built on trust, respect and unconditional positive regard. These apply to personal relationships as well as therapeutic ones. His ideas on purposefulness are the only ones I've come across that make perfect sense. They really resonate with me. After your finished Id love to read your dissertation! Chris Cheryl,

I am actually doing my dissertation research in the area of Life Purpose and Roger's book didn't cross my mind until you wrote about it. I have the book on my bookshelf, and now I have to pull it down and review his pearls of wisdom. I enjoyed your review and linking it to current day mindfulness practices. Times change, but Rogers' insights were classic and seem to endure. Thanks Chris.
