Books like Psychology and the human dilemma by Rollo May


Psychology and the Human Dilemma outlines Rollo May’s existential approach to psychology, emphasizing the dual role of people as both active subjects and passive objects. May argues that true freedom stems from self‑knowledge and the ability to choose attitudes toward life’s events, thereby affecting outcomes. The work critiques contemporary society, suggesting that the decline of traditional myths leaves individuals disoriented and alienated. May proposes new, inclusive myths that value racial diversity, global unity, and intrinsic worth over utilitarian gains, offering a hopeful perspective for the future of human consciousness.
