Summary
Existentialism offers enduring lessons and insight on how to understand ourselves and improve our lives.
Your existence is not the result of a predetermined set of events; it’s the direct result of your thinking and your actions, and therefore, according to Soren Kierkegaard, Frederick Nietzsche, Albert Camus, and other existentialist philosophers, you have the freedom to control the outcome of your existence - sophisticated "philosophy meets psychology" self-help for the 21st century.
As Kierkegaard and his ilk made clear in their respective works, human beings are moody creatures. Rather than understanding moods such as anxiety and depression as afflictions that can be treated only with a pill, the existentialists regard these troublesome feelings as instructive, something revealing about what it means to be human. The existentialists believed that how we negotiate our emotional ups and downs plays an important hand in the lives we sculpt for ourselves.
While offering listeners a useful primer on existentialism as an animating body of thought, Marino distills and delivers the life-altering and, in some cases, life-saving insights Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Camus, and other existentialists articulate for becoming more emotionally attuned human beings. Enhancing our sense of meaning in the midst of an uncertain world, Marino interjects gripping anecdotes from his own experiences to demonstrate how we can use existentialist thought to ignite truly transformative experiences.

fantastic insight into existentialism
this book is a brilliant overview you of both existentialism and it's potential value in everyday life. the book was a lot more academic in nature than I expected but this made it so much better. I highly recommend this book if you want to get into the real heart of existentialism and how it can help humans in their lives existence i.e. being Human
