Publisher's Summary
Existentialism offers enduring lessons and insight on how to understand ourselves and improve our lives.
Your existence is not the result of a predetermined set of events; it’s the direct result of your thinking and your actions, and therefore, according to Soren Kierkegaard, Frederick Nietzsche, Albert Camus, and other existentialist philosophers, you have the freedom to control the outcome of your existence - sophisticated "philosophy meets psychology" self-help for the 21st century.
As Kierkegaard and his ilk made clear in their respective works, human beings are moody creatures. Rather than understanding moods such as anxiety and depression as afflictions that can be treated only with a pill, the existentialists regard these troublesome feelings as instructive, something revealing about what it means to be human. The existentialists believed that how we negotiate our emotional ups and downs plays an important hand in the lives we sculpt for ourselves.
While offering listeners a useful primer on existentialism as an animating body of thought, Marino distills and delivers the life-altering and, in some cases, life-saving insights Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Camus, and other existentialists articulate for becoming more emotionally attuned human beings. Enhancing our sense of meaning in the midst of an uncertain world, Marino interjects gripping anecdotes from his own experiences to demonstrate how we can use existentialist thought to ignite truly transformative experiences.

Not recommended
Do not recommend. Found his constant confession tiring. Not an insightful writer. I will stick with Victor Frankl, Irvin Yalom and Dostoyevsky. Dostoyevsky wrote "There is only one thing that I dread. Not to be worthy of my sufferings. Bear your suffering with dignity. It is this inner freedom which cannot be taken away which makes life meaningful and purposeful. "
