The Discovery of Being: Writings in Existential Psychology

“Clear, accurate, and interesting. There is no better short introduction to the existential approach to psychology.”
- Dallas Morning News

“A brisk, clear, popular introduction to existential psychology/psychotherapy. . . [Rollo May] makes a good case for it as a pragmatically broad and flexible method. . . . A solid, stimulating presentation.”
- Kirkus Reviews

This book is addressed to all concerned with the causes of loneliness and isolations and with the search to find new and firm mooring posts in an age of anxiety.
