"I read this for a class I took on "the psychology of the self." Overall, a very decent review of the main existentialists and related philosophy all boiled down to a lucid thesis on a pretty nasty topic: the increasingly fragmented state of the self in modern society. Sure, not the most original theme but it was one of the first books to address it and still probably one of the most clearly presented that most anyone can follow."
"Barrett's book was very well written. This was truly a wonderful summation of Existentialism. I highly recommend reading this before trying to swallow down Heidegger's "Being and Time" or punishing yourself with Sartre."
