    About this audiobook

    "Extraordinary, wise, and hopeful... nearly poetic meditations."-Boston Globe
    What if imagination and art are not, as many of us might think, the frosting on life but the fountainhead of human experience? What if our logic and science derive from art forms, rather than the other way around? In this trenchant volume, Rollo May helps all of us find those creative impulses that, once liberated, offer new possibilities for achievement. A renowned therapist and inspiring guide, Dr. May draws on his experience to show how we can break out of old patterns in our lives. His insightful book offers us a way through our fears into a fully realized self.

      On Hope

      May 3, 2020

      A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I started sometimes asking, at the end of my conversations: “What makes you despair, and where are you finding hope?” It turns out that answers to the two parts of that question are more often conjoined than oppositional. The pu

      Not exactly my book that I'll reference. While it shared some thought provoking concepts, it was very dry reading. For someone else it may be life changing. However it was just so so to me.

      Originally written as a series of lectures this volume explores creativity, its many facets and gives examples from art.

      Although it was written in the last century it is still very useful in pondering the need to create, the artist's encounter with his world, and the nature of creativity.
