One day you find yourself in a strange body, in a strange world, without any sense of direction or purpose. Who are you? Where do you go? What do you do? Who should you become? We've all experienced some version of this before-an existential crisis.
So You're Having an Existential Crisis is a comprehensive guide to living for those who feel lost, stuck, confused, or are simply curious about the nature of being. Journeying into existentialism, phenomenology, ethics, psychology, and critical theory, this book explores several outstanding questions on the human condition. What does it mean to be truly free? And do we actually want freedom? How can I be my authentic self while navigating love? Why was I born as this person and not someone else? How do I live with suffering (and student loans)?
An existential crisis can be an uncomfortable experience-it unsettles the very fabric of our being. At the same time, it is an opportunity towards greater understanding and awareness. And, through examining the questions it provokes, you may find that your existential crisis is the key to a life worth living.
