A timeless classic by the distinguished author of Love and Will.

"Analyzes life as we are living it, and the analysis is truthful and profound."--New York Times 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.

Táto kniha chce predovšetkým ukázať, ako sa dajú v mýtoch opäť objaviť nástroje sebapoznávania. Preto návrat k mýtom je nevyhnutným návratom k vlastnej podstate. Korene mnohých spoločenských problémov možno odvodzovať práve od nedostatku mýtov.

Existencialisticko-integratívna psychológia vedie klientov k osobnému oslobodeniu sa a k prežívaniu vnútorného pocitu slobody, ktorý pohlcuje a transformuje skúsenostné problémy. Skôr než cúvať pred náporom traumatických zážitkov alebo ich využívať na osobný zisk, môžeme žiť plnohodnotným životom a optimálne fungovať, ak budeme rozvíjať psychickú pružnosť, ktorá dovoľuje prežívať danú chvíľu. Rollo May nahliadol do samotnej štruktúry ľudskej existencie, aby tam našiel kľúče k zdrojom, ktoré ľudia potrebujú pri konfrontácii opakujúcich sa kríz vo svojom živote. Tieto kľúče našiel vo fenomenológii. Tak ako psychologická veda rozvíja modely vychádzajúce z fyziky a biológie, fenomenologické hnutie existencializmu smeruje skôr k humanitným vedám, filozofii a umeniu.

The popular psychoanalyst examines the continuing tension in our lives between the possibilities that freedom offers and the various limitations imposed upon us by our particular fate or destiny.

Rollo May explores the duality of power and innocence, defining power as the capacity to effect change and innocence as the voluntary relinquishment of that power, which he associates with a uniquely American mindset. He proposes a new ethical framework that recognizes power as a fundamental element in the spectrum of human behavior, influencing both goodness and evil. Through this lens, May invites readers to reconsider their understanding of power and its implications for morality and personal responsibility.

Rollo May explores the complexities of human existence in modern society, addressing themes of identity loss, anxiety, and the interplay of freedom and responsibility. He highlights the intensified psychological challenges of the twentieth century but emphasizes the potential for growth through understanding paradoxes and confronting dilemmas. May's insights encourage readers to navigate the "human predicament" constructively, suggesting that our capacity to engage with these conflicts can lead to personal development and resilience.
