About this book

Out of his experience in helping people work out their difficulties, May wrote this book in an effort to help the individual come to terms with himself. He shows the ways in which we can stand against the insecurity of this age and find a center of strength within ourselves. He sheds light on some of the things that underlie our feelings of disturbance and conflict. Writing with directness and simplicity, he speaks of the loss of certainties suffered in our rapidly changing society. He points the way toward values and goals that can be depended on in a day when very little is secure. And he shows how we can gain a real awareness of self that will bring us freedom and courage.--Adapted from dust jacket.
