A review by zhakoisreading
Existentialism and Human Emotions by Jean-Paul Sartre

4.0

Accessible, basic explanation of Existentialism for beginners like myself!
Sartre’s writing style is so engaging. 

But then again, he goes on about existentialist psychoanalysis towards the end and the book lost me:(

I still highly recommend, it’s thought provoking and easy to read.

…man is condemned to be free.
Condemned, because he did not create himself, yet, in other respects is free; because, once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.

The most terrible situations of war, the worst tortures do not create a non-human state of things; there is no non-human situation.

Before you come alive, life is nothing; it's up to you to give it a meaning, and value is nothing else but the meaning that you choose.
