Loneliness, emptiness, and anxiety – these are the main complaints American existential psychologist Rollo May encountered over and over from his patients. In 1953, May published Man’s Search for Himself, in which he explores these problems – that are perhaps more relevant than ever in our modern age. When society can no longer give us a clear picture of our values and standards, of what we are and what we ought to be, we are then thrown back on the search for ourselves. This is one of the few blessings of living in an age of anxiety. To venture causes anxiety, but not to venture is to lose oneself. To venture in the highest sense is precisely to become conscious of oneself. ⭐ Become a Patron (exclusive content): 📺 YouTube Member (exclusive content): 🛒 Official Merch: ☕ Donate a Coffee: 📘 PayPal: 📨 Subscribe with email: 📚 My personal library: 🎨 Access transcript and artwork gallery: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Man's Search for Himself – Rollo May 🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
