Reviews / Votes
This is an extraordinary book on human development. It is both original and creative in drawing on existential philosophies to sketch an alternative theory of the human challenges of coming to life, evolving, learning and dying. It should be required reading for psychotherapists and psychologists, as it will help them think anew about human change and transformation. * Professor Emmy van Deurzen, Existential Academy * Martin Adams practices what he preaches and his practice expertly informs his theories. He endorses that a psychology based on philosophy and phenomenology achieves far deeper insight into the human condition than one based on empirical science. This is an exhaustive yet accessible and entertaining book, and a must read for actual and would-be existentialists and existential therapists everywhere. * Gary Cox PhD, author of How to Be an Existentialist and the Existentialist's Guide *More details
