Book Review: Psyche and Soul in America: The Spiritual Odyssey of Rollo May by Abzug, R.

Love, courage, autonomy, creativity - reading Rollo May's work today reminds us that these endangered aspirations are as important today to the crafting of a meaningful life as they were during May's own lifetime and for millennia past. Abzug's several anecdotes relating the impact on individuals encountering May's books for the first time are evidence of what, in the world of jazz, has been called "trance-mission" and, in Zen, "direct pointing." It is also, for me, a touching reminder of May's understated humor - an abiding aspect, I think, of Rollo's essential character, even philosophy, his inimitable way of being in the world.
