This book is one of Rogers' most outstanding works. It can be perceived as the author’s personal confession, as an attempt to share his human, life and professional experience with all those in whom a response may arise. Since the topics covered in this book are relevant to human life in the modern world and are important both for the individual and for society as a whole, people from a variety of professions can become its readers. The reading process itself can be not only fascinating, but also personally affecting, due to the sincere personal involvement of the author himself and his hope to establish a dialogue with the reader. Let Rogers's words, taken from the preface to this book, speak for themselves: “The purpose of this book is to share with you a part of my experience—a part of myself. This describes what I experienced in the jungle of the modern world, in the uncharted territory of personal relationships. Here is everything I saw and everything I believed. I have listed here some of the questions, difficulties, doubts and concerns that I encountered. I hope that by sharing them with me, you will find something that affects you personally.”
