Human History Foretold and FulfilledConsidering the events, both the good and the bad ones, which have occurred throughout human history, myriads of people have continually wondered and wished to find out what would happen next. Even recently, we heard both desirable news and undesirable news which have left many people quite uncertain, some pessimistic, and a few others somewhat optimistic about the future.

Considering the events, both the good and the bad ones, which have occurred throughout human history, myriads of people have continually wondered and wished to find out what would happen next. Even recently, we heard both desirable news and undesirable news which have left many people quite uncertain, some pessimistic, and a few others somewhat optimistic about the future. For example, just in the last 2 years, that is, in 2021 and 2022, we witnessed an incredible mix of both positive and negative proceedings: to demonstrate, positive proceedings such as the decline of the worldwide Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the United States Supreme Court overturn of Roe v. Wade, and negative proceedings such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, the ongoing rise of terrorism, and global economic inflation.

Dear reader, what about you? Are you uncertain, pessimistic, or optimistic about the future? Well, whether you are uncertain, or maybe pessimistic, or even optimistic about the future, this book is right for you. Indeed, as you dive into this book, firstly, you will discover that human history is not just a succession of random and out-of-control events, but rather human history has already been foretold and is simply unfolding accordingly. Secondly, because human history has been predicted in advance, you will not only get to know what the future holds, but also, more importantly, you will encounter the author of this prediction, for it is a person, namely the one who knows everything and has witnessed all of human history. Thirdly, you will realize that this person doesnÕt just know what the future holds, but He actually holds the future and, therefore, He is in total control and should be trusted!

Henceforth, welcome onboard, as you are joining Marc Kamsu on this transforming and life-changing journey during which you will be exploring past, present, and future human history and their significance, and, in doing so, you will be meticulously equipped along the way with the tools you need to lead a successful life, so that you will no longer be uncertain nor pessimistic about the future, but rather you will be all the more optimistic, hopeful, and filled with a confident and unshakable expectation of good. Again, welcome onboard, buckle up, open your heart and mind, and enjoy the ride!

A Great Work on the Dynamics of the Human Condition
Format: Hardcover
Irvin Yalom, Professor Emeritus at Standford in psychiatry, has written a masterful book on the human condition (published in 1980). "Existential Psychotherapy" is singularly one of the best books I have ever read. Why? Yalom has combined 1) his intellectual insights in psychology with 2) his practical observations in therapy with 3) existential thought. He seeks to show that much of the anxiety we face as human beings, and seek comfort for in psychotherapy (or religion), originates from the existential facts of being a mortal, free being. He focuses on four main areas: death (our inner structure will go to nothing), freedom (we are forced to make momentous decisions without full information), isolation (we are alone in many fundamental ways) and meaninglessness (we don't have a clear picture of what it really means). From literature, psychology, philosophy and some theology (Tillich), Yalom has created a definitive text on what it means to open our eyes fully to our existential situation. It is not a depressive text, as the goal is to come to terms with our condition. And ironically, facing the truth of death, for example, makes life richer. This is much more than a self-help book, it is a philosophical-psychological masterpiece. I have a Ph.D. in the philosophy of religion and have published several articles in leading journals and don't give out the kind of praise I am giving here easily. It is one of the best books I have ever read, and I think a wide range of people would profit from it. Yet it's a difficult book, not an easy self-help read. But Yalom is such a clear writer that most readers could follow it. When he uses technical psychological or philosophical terms, he usually explains them. Otherwise, the dictionary must be used. This text would be helpful for people in the helping professions in giving an existential aspect to their work. Religious thinkers and those interested in philosophy should pick it up at any cost. Any educated person could profit from it greatly. It's a long text, and I had to break it up by carefully reading some from each of the main four parts simultaneously to get a view of the whole. It's a bit dry at times, but thoughtful, perceptive, educational in many fields, --it's ....wisdom literature....I can't think of a higher compliment.

The best of its kind.
As a clinical psychologist who has been practicing, doing research on, and teaching assessment and therapy for more than 25 years I have encountered many books and many more articles and research papers on psychotherapy. While some have real value, most do little more than take up space and help the people who wrote them advance their careers. All too rarely one comes across a book that changes one's way of looking at things and helps one to approach this field in a new and qualitatively better fashion. Yalom's book on Existential Psychotherapy is one such book. I first read this when I was in graduate school in the early 1980's and just learning about psychotherapy, and about life. This book opened my eyes and gave me an over-arching way of thinking about myself, my patients, and the things that I was doing. Unlike most texts on therapy, it was not limited to the parochial "theoretical orientations" and mechanistic models of therapy technique that I was learning then and have seen proliferate ever since. Since this time I have re-read this book many times, and each time I have gotten more from it. Yalom tries to go through the collected wisdom of mankind, not just in the narrow world of scientific psychology, but in philosophy, art, and religion, to explain how everyone must face certain existential realities such a mortality, temporality, resonsibility and isolation, and how the struggle to face these basic issues underlies many of the symptoms and complaints that lead people to seek the help of mental health professionals. Unfortunately, as Yalom points out, all too often we fail to see these as such, and offer help in the form of superficial, pseudoscientific psychologizing, technical trivialities and medications that often do more harm than good. While, used humbly and wisely, these things are not without value, their value is often fatally limited by their failure to see the larger context of life and its challenges. Once having read and really thought about Yalom's book, that becomes much harder to do; and thereby inevitably enriches one's practice and one's life. Regardless what kinds of therapies and what kinds of patients one works with - or even if one's practice is limited primarily to assessment or research - this book provides a philosophical and conceptual bedrock that can inform and enrich what one does. I am so happy to see that this book is still in print, and I would encourage anyone who plans to make a living trying to be seriously involved in other people's lives to avail themselves of this book. It is a treasure and a masterpiece. I intend to us it in my classes this year and for as long as it remains in print.

This is a really great book.
Format: Hardcover
I am a layperson so those who read this review should consider that. I have read this book slowly, very slowly and as a layperson have found it to be so very, very enlightening. This material has such depth and there were sections that I read that caused me to put the book down and consider what I had just encountered. Life is not a simple journey especially when we pick up so much detritus on the way. For years, I knocked on so many variously colored doors - entering and finding myself wanting...not them, mind you, but myself. Reading this - pointed me to a gate that swung open to a garden area, albeit, very overgrown, untended. It is here now that I work - some of what I thought were weeds are not. Some of what I thought were flowers are not. I just want to be free and am willing to accept that responsibility. Thank you, Dr. Yalom....you sage of my generation.

Great book for growth
Format: Hardcover
Deep and thoughtful book, worth the investment for any training psychotherapist or social worker. Yalom is a leader in the field and one whom I trust. I have my PhD in psychology and can't suggest this enough. .
