Description
The Cry for Myth
By Rollo May
This book explores how myths can help individuals make sense of their lives and find healing in a morally confusing world. Through case studies and personal experiences, Dr. May shows how tracing myths can provide meaning and structure for those seeking direction.
The author's approach is rooted in his work as a therapist, where he has seen the power of myths to reveal patterns of behavior and provide insight into human distress. With wit and style, Dr. May examines various myths from different cultures and traditions, revealing their relevance to contemporary life.
