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.

I grately enjoys this book and plan on reading more from the author. Eye opening and sobering in many ways.

Excellent and insightful

Right after reading it I feel like it's been the most enlightining book I've read and will probably need to relisten it at some point as there are so many great ideas in there.

One of the best books I've read

This book is a spiritual classic, dealing with man's alienation from his deeper self. He makes his impact using a vast range of literary references and case studies from his therapeutic work. Occasionally his points are belaboured too much, but his insights, especially in the last chapters, are potentially lofe+ changing.,

Should be on any seeker's shelf.
