Hope you're all well!
I couldn't really decide where yto post this - is existentialism considered a religion or philosophy?
Anyway I found another book to add to my list to read "one day" ...
Philosophy is an interesting subject—there are many perspectives and opinions, agreements and disagreements, and never-ending debates. Even the philosophers under the category of “existentialists” don’t agree on everything.
The Existentialist’s Survival Guide covers all the key areas of life: anxiety, depression, despair, death, authenticity, faith, morality, and love. Needless to say, it has something for everyone. Each person who reads it will resonate with different parts, and your aha moments and insights will likely differ from mine.
Even my own mindset reading this book in 2018 was likely very different than how I would have read this book three years ago during my existential crisis. Today, I’m more interested in an optimistic outlook on life, and I was specifically interested in the book’s content around authenticity. Keep that in mind as you read this summary because you’ll notice that my notes definitely favor some areas more than others. All quotes are from the author unless stated otherwise.
