The courage to create

Book • 1975
In 'The Courage to Create', Rollo May delves into the nature of creativity, arguing that it is a fundamental aspect of human existence.

He posits that creativity involves laboring at the edge of knowledge and embracing the unknown, which often induces anxiety but also leads to profound joy and self-actualization.

May draws from various thinkers and artists to illustrate how creativity is essential for personal growth and societal progress, and he emphasizes the need for individuals to confront their fears and break away from conformity to achieve their full creative potential.
