Famed (or infamous) psychologist Carl Rogers defined the Ideal Self as “the self-concept which the individual would most like to possess, upon which he places the highest value for himself” (Rogers, 1959). This idea seems reasonable; we all have mental constructs of a seemingly perfect self that embodies our subjective understanding of full humanness.
I’m curious, do you have an ideal self? What are some of the “self-concepts” upon which you place highest value?ÂÂ
