This was amazing! I'm opening up a person-centered coaching business in February to help pay for school while I get my LPC. Dr. Rogers humanistic approach seems direly needed in todays world.

How is it that Jordan Petersons Lectures on Carl Rogers 2014 has 67k views, and 2015 has 125k views but Rogers himself- 15k? The man himself, a phenomenologist, encountering others.

Peterson definitely has a cult following, but I do get your point. At least Peterson is drawing more people into awareness. I first heard of Rogers through Peterson’s lecture and studied him more once I went to school for addiction counseling, specifically a class on motivational interviewing. In all my classes before that, I don’t think Rogers was taught about at all…

[@CorySee]

@@SingeSabre Peterson is simply more relevant and active today, both from a cultural and an online marketing perspective. He's the reason I discovered Dr. Rogers and entered higher education to become a counselor. I went from being a destitute drug addict and criminal to a 4.0 student in the course of 5 years. I went from being homeless to owning a home with a wife and twins. I'll forever be thankful for both of them, and I desperately hope to pass my luck forward.

Wow your a miracle. Did you go to therapy too! ​@CorySee

I don't dispute his basic point but I consider it quite obvious and yet not very clearly stated. Basically if a teacher is more motivated, more aware of the individuals in their "class" and attempts to involve the student in the learning process, they will be more effective. That has been known for thousands of years. As for how much the student can effectively set the agenda of their learning, that depends on the student in question. Some can do that very effectively and take to it easily, others can only do it in association with a large amount of attention on the part of the teacher. That is not always practically feasible.

Never understood these intros; everybody knows who the guest is as they came to hear him.

[@SingeSabre]

Seriously, it’s always about the ego of the introducer…

[@jameseglavin4]

Yes!!! They never add *anything* of value, and nowadays there can be three or more of them! Just say thanks for coming, here’s the speaker

Life changing stuff

Dude!!!

[@christinemartin63]

How did this guy make out of just plain common sense a new-fangled "theory of education"? 🤔🙄 ... This guy's ego is as large as the Grand Canyon. (Manipulation by any other name is still ... manipulation.)

Rogers could have a subtle self righteous that was a bit off putting. his tut tutting about teaching is rubbish. teaching is MORE important in a complex changing environment. To say that gaining knowledge is not important but pursuing knowledge is is like saying that eating is not important but gathering food is. Nonsense.

[@danielkisliakov548]

Methinks you've misunderstood Rogers

[@TJ-kk5zf]

@@danielkisliakov548 I've actually read quite a lot of Rogers and I watched and understood the video

[@andrewskater8813]

Galeleo said something like: "You cannot teach a person anything. All you can do is help them find the answers within themselves" Who has more knowledge? A gainer of knowledge? or a pursuer of knowledge?

[@albertozucconi1385]

May be if will you consult the massive research evidence on the effectiveness of student centered approaches would make you reconsider your statement.

[@TJ-kk5zf]

@@albertozucconi1385 I think you missed my point. your English is not so good
