How to Be an Existentialist : or How to Get Real, Get Grip and Stop Making Excuses [10th Anniversary Edition] / by Gary Cox. 10th Anniversary Edition London : Bloomsbury Publishing, 2020. ©2020 123 pages ; 20 cm. "Originally published in Great Britain in 20209 by the Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd" Includes bibliographical references (pages 114-115) and index. The 10th anniversary edition of a witty classic about the philosophy of existentialism. It is also a genuine self-help book offering clear advice on how to live according to the principles of existentialism formulated by Nietzsche, Sartre, Camus, and the other great existentialist philosophers. An attack on contemporary excuse culture, the book urges us to face the hard existential truths of the human condition. By revealing that we are all inescapably free and responsible - 'condemned to be free,' as Sartre says - the book aims to empower the reader with a sharp sense that we are each the master of our own destiny. Cox makes fun of the reputation existentialism has for being gloomy and pessimistic, exposing it for what it really is - an honest, uplifting, and potentially life changing philosophy! This striking 10th anniversary edition with a substantial new preface includes more pointers on how to be a true existentialist, including how to be an existentialist at a time when environmental issues are becoming ever more pressing and our 'post-truth' world increasingly subjects us to the politically polarising power of simplistic social media.
