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.

This book has every possible feel good ah ha moment you could ask for in a non fiction audiobook. This is not only inspirational, it seems to give humanity the unsung hero, the artist, it's long overdue due. The mythological connections made in this book are mesmerizing and dwell worthy. I will find myself rereading this book many times.
