1909 - 1994
Rollo May was an American existential psychologist and author, born on April 21, 1909, and passing on October 22, 1994. He is best known for his work on the human experience, particularly in his exploration of anxiety, creativity, and the nature of existence, as articulated in his influential books such as "Love and Will" and "The Meaning of Anxiety." May's contributions helped shape the field of humanistic psychology and emphasized the importance of personal responsibility and the search for meaning.
Most people suffer from the fear of finding themselves alone, and so they don't find themselves at all.
Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one's identity as a being of worth and dignity.
