“#Exuberance carries us places we would not otherwise go — across the savannah, to the moon, into the imagination — and if we ourselves are not so exuberant we will, caught up in the contagious joy of those who are, be inclined collectively to go yonder.” - #KayRedfieldJamison
A new classic in the canon of suicide? https://www.newyorker.com/books/under-review/the-two-faces-of-suicide The author has a lot of purple prose and definitely overlooks Edwin S. Shneidman but this is at least an interesting reading recommendation (if a rambling essay). #suicide #suicidology #camus #nietzsche #kierkegaard #kayredfieldjamison #existentialism
