Summary of rollo may's man's search for himself

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The major inner problems of people in our day are unhappiness, inability to decide about marriage or vocations, general despair and meaninglessness in their lives, and so on. But what underlies these symptoms. #2 The chief problem of people in the middle decade of the twentieth century is emptiness. They do not know what they want, and they do not have any clear idea of what they feel. They feel empty because they do not have any definite experience of their own desires or wants. #3 The problem with not knowing what you want is that it is often due to the fact that we live in a time of uncertainty, with a future of insecurity facing us no matter how we look at it. #4 The modern man is also hollow, and this can be seen in the patients that come to psychologists and psychoanalysts for help. The typical American character was previously inner-directed, but is now outer-directed. He seeks to fit in rather than stand out.
