Rollo May

Rollo May was an influential American existential psychologist who emphasized the importance of individual choice, personal responsibility, and the search for meaning in life. He believed that human existence is characterized by anxiety and uncertainty, and that confronting these feelings is essential for personal growth. Drawing from existential philosophy, May argued that embracing our freedoms and fears allows us to create authentic lives. His work highlighted the significance of love, creativity, and facing one’s mortality, encouraging people to find purpose despite life’s inherent challenges. May sought to blend psychological insight with philosophical inquiries about existence.
