    Is there anything in psychology that might help us deal with existential dread? I’ve found philosophy has helped me tremendously. Particularly, Albert Camus and Absurdism.

      I found Jung’s archetypes were pretty soothing to study. They really give insight into human communication and history. If you can find “Man and his Symbols” in color hardback, it’s an amazing read. It’s also a great way to dip your toes into Jung’s writings, without going too heavy too soon.
