Description
The 10th anniversary edition of this witty guide to existentialism offers clear advice on how to live according to its principles. By exploring the ideas of philosophers like Nietzsche, Sartre, and Camus, Gary Cox challenges conventional excuses for not taking responsibility for our lives.
This book presents a refreshingly honest philosophy that urges us to face the hard truths of the human condition. Rather than perpetuating gloomy or pessimistic views, it reveals existentialism as an empowering philosophy that can help us take control of our own destiny.
The new edition includes additional pointers on how to be an existentialist in today's world, where environmental issues and social media are increasingly influential. With its substantial new preface, this book provides valuable insights for anyone looking to live more authentically and responsibly.
