Books like Existentialism and Human Emotions

The chapters "Existentialism" and "Freedom and Responsibility" are a warmly written, natural link between Kierkegaard and Watts.Short "Desire to Be God" chapters are...meh.Everything past that is irredeemable garbage. This is a 5-star book, with one small condition: Find the page with the chapter title "Existentialist Psychoanalysis", locate a pair of scissors, and cut it out, along with every page after it. Then you will have a book worth cherishing, and reading over and over again. Don't read this review any further, and everything should be good.---------------------------Alright, if you must: This KILLS me! After taking the time to so wonderfully lay down his pillars of existentialism in the first 2/3 of the book, with emphasis on "forlornness, anguish, and despair" of YOU being the ONLY ONE who defines your own existence, the only one who gives it meaning, and that NOBODY can help you make your most important decisions in life; Sartre then flippantly suggests that a new form of "existentialist psychoanalysis" should provide easy answers. This is DIRECTLY CONTRADICTORY to the absolute foundation of the beautiful ideas that make this book significant. Then you'll read in horror as he degrades into all manner of disturbing sexual Freudian psychobabble, laughing out loud at at least one part due to the absurdity.*Deep breath*. I'm just going to pretend that some perverted Freudian fanboy slipped the last chapters in right before it went to press, and those were never really Sarte's thoughts. They couldn't have been, right?
