Man's Search for Himself

Title

Man's Search for Himself

Author

Rollo May

Description

Out of his experience in helping people work out their difficulties, Dr. May has come to certain conclusions about modern man's predicament. He has written this book in an effort to help the individual come to terms with himself. He shows the ways in which we can stand against the insecurity of this age and find
a center of strength within ourselves. His book is not a self-help book in theĀ sense that it promises cures overnight. But it is a book that will give people help because it gives them light on some of the things that underlie their feelingsĀ of disturbance and conflict.

Dr. May writes with uncommon sensitivity and wisdom, with directness and simplicity. He speaks of the loneliness and anxiety of modern man, and of the loss of certainties suffered in our rapidly changing society. He points the way toward values and goals that can be depended on in a day when very little is secure. And he shows how we can gain a real awareness of self that will
bring us freedom and courage.
