The Courage to Create

What if imagination & art are not, as many of us might think, the frosting on life, but the fountainhead of human experience? What if our logic & science derive from art forms, rather than the other way around? In this trenchant volume, Rollo May helps all of us find those creative impulses that, once liberated, offer new possibilities for achievement. A renowned therapist & inspiring guide, Dr May draws on his experience to show how we can break out of old patterns in our lives. His insightful book offers us a way thru our fears into a fully realized self.
