Rollo May was an American existential psychologist born in 1909.
He authored influential books like "Love and Will" and "The Courage to Create." May's work bridged existentialism, humanism, and Freudian psychology.
He developed concepts like stages of development and explored themes of anxiety, creativity, and love.
May emphasized the importance of courage in facing life's challenges and finding meaning.
He was critical of modern sexual mores and commercialization, advocating for genuine human connection.
May's ideas continue to influence psychology and philosophy, particularly in understanding creativity and personal growth.
