In an ultra competitive culture over concerned with the appearance of invulnerability, people become susceptible to the existential threats that undermine a sense of well being: alienation, powerlessness, relative insignificance, and death. Using traditional pathways to "transcendent value experiences," Ralph Ellis explains love's ability to support a sense of intrinsic worth and alleviate existential fears. Students of philosophy and psychology and readers interested in history, romantic love, and cultural critique will appreciate the depth of discussion.
