About this listen

Loneliness, boredom, emptiness: These are the complaints that Rollo May encountered over and over from his patients. In response, he probes the hidden layers of personality to reveal the core of man's integration-a basic and inborn sense of value.

Man's Search for Himself is an illuminating view of our predicament in an age of overwhelming anxieties and gives guidance on how to choose, judge, and act during such times.

Inspiring book about living an existential life. I am certainly biased; regardless I likesd Rollo May’s use of references: Kierkegaard, Orestes, Faust and the problem with French existentialists. He did not touch much upon religion which is something I would have liked to hear more about.
