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.

As a child of 70's with an alcoholic/workaholic father, a repressed as depressed mother, and possibly concussed as a small infant. I felt I was missing something in my up bringing and certainly this book opened my eyes.

Regardless of age or the a time we live in.

I was so surprised with the accuracy of this book describing the way we are living today being that it was written so many years ago, I guess nothing has changed since lol. It was super advanced thinking for its time. It is a bit hard to digest by the way that is written, but it has really good insights, you just have to pay attention.

Too advanced for its time

I'm a blue collar man (early 40's) and apologize for the poor review. Based on the the overview and the feedback.... this did NOT come close to my expectations.
I've been through my share of "therapy", not only for my family (children and ex-spouse), but also for myself... through PHSYC, SLP, OT, PT, various counselors and a "mens life coaching" program..
Admittedly I've only listned to this audiobook once, and I do intend to replay it in the future.....
But my initial opinion is very poor, and feel after one listen I've gotten little to nothing out of it.
This is my opinion only, and will post another review after I listen again (unsure when) if my perception changes.

Stick to your course men!
Much love

Disappointed

Although there were some really insightful moments, this was a really tough ome to listen to.

It might be a better read in print.
