Time & Other Thieves
"On Becoming a Person," by Carl Rogers
In this episode, I talk a bit about my tendency to have multiple projects going at once, and how that probably informs a recurring dream I have about never being able to get where I need to be. But mostly I explore some of the ideas put forth in the 1961 book On Becoming a Person, by Carl Rogers. We people are change, embodied. We are always in a state of becoming, so don't go thinking you've become who you're going to be! You'll never become who you're going to be because that would mean there's a goal in mind, some static version of yourself that, once achieved, you'll never stray from. To get the most out of our ever-changing-ness, we need to be open to our experience, and able to share that experience in word and deed with the people we care about. There's a lot more going on in this episode, so give a listen if you wanna!
