Man's Search for Himself by Rollo May5/25/2023 Rollo May (1909-1994) was an influential existential psychologist and author of several books. One of the distinguishing marks of strength as a self is the capacity to immerse one’s self in tradition and at the same time be one’s own unique self.” It is the persons who are weak in the sense of their own personal identity who are overcome by the power of tradition, who cannot stand in its presence, and who therefore either capitulate to it, cut themselves off from it, or rebel against it. “The greater a person’s awareness of himself, the more he can acquire the wisdom of his fathers to make it his. First written in 1953, but still immensely precise to our time. Rollo May explores the struggle to be, the roots of our malady, loneliness and anxiety, freedom and inner strength, creative conscience, courage and the virtue of maturity. If you dare to look where everyone tells you not to look, confront the dragon of all chaos, and voluntary explore unknown territory with the purpose of knowing yourself better, this is a book you should read.
