an extensive examination of existential psychology and various therapeutic approaches designed to address human suffering, the search for meaning, and the anxiety surrounding mortality. A major focus is Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy, which stresses that individuals can find meaning and freedom by choosing their attitude toward unavoidable pain and life’s constraints. The text reviews significant criticisms of Logotherapy, particularly concerns that it may individualize systemic issues, before comparing it to contemporary methods like CBT, ACT, and DBT, which offer varied strategies for emotional and behavioral adaptation. Drawing on the work of Irvin Yalom, the discussion shifts to the four “givens” of human existence, asserting that facing our inevitable finitude and isolation is crucial for increasing life engagement. The document details the constant, large-scale interplay of life and death at the cellular level, illustrating how this awareness can transform mortality from a source of terror into a motivational force for living a value-aligned life.
