The Will To Despair

The Will To Despair is an in-depth investigation of Despair. What is Despair? The definition of despair is, "the absence of hope," but is there more to Despair? Are there layers to Despair? What is its place in the Human Condition? In the Living-Being Condition? A work of philosophy written in a classical style, "The Will To Despair" proposes the role of despair as fundamental to the psychology of a human being, both in terms of understanding the psychology of the human condition, and in terms of how one grows psychologically. As the Author states, "Just as a massive black hole sits at the center of each galaxy, so too despair sits at the center of each Living Being." Can we know the human condition without knowing despair in nuance and significance? And what of the growing emphasis on Mental Health in our society? What of the growing Mental Health Crisis we are going through? Can we progress as a society in the field of Mental Health without understanding the explicit and implicit consequences of despair? Can we provide the proper advice to those suffering psychologically while remaining profoundly ignorant to the whole category of despair? A work of newfound originality and of far reaching significance, "The Will To Despair" attests to a deep and personal familiarity with despair in the author. The thoroughness of thought and objectivity of consideration the author brings to the work is at once refreshing and enlightening. The journey Mr. Barker takes you on is one that leaves the reader with a courage they were likely unaware was at all reasonable, or even possible! Rarely do you come across a work that relates to you so well, while somehow also standing out as a work that clearly transcends any specific time period at all. "The Will To Despair" has all the makings of a genuine classic, and time will tell to what heights the work climbs in the canon of human thought. One thing's for sure: a new thinker of historic significance has emerged onto the scene.
