Description
“The greatest hazard of all, losing the self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all.” - Kierkegaard, The Sickness unto Death

In the end, however, Kierkegaard tells us that there is only one, which we must avoid at all cost if we are to be authentic human individuals.
Book Recommendations:
- Augustine's Confessions
