I need go no farther than one of THE books that helped kick off the whole human-potential movement: ``On Becoming A Person'' by Dr. Carl Rogers. It's essentially a collection of papers, and thus rambles a bit, but I recommend it highly. I've gone through the newer human- potential books, such as those by Dyer or by Ringer (``Erroneous Zones'' and company), and was once quite taken with them. But life just didn't seem to work the way those books claimed. But when I go back to Rogers, each time through is an enrichment. -Ed Hall decvax!randvax!edhall
