Janice Selbie<p>I’m a big fan of Dr. Irvin Yalom and share many of the same beliefs he espouses in his book “Staring at the Sun.” I embrace <a href="https://mas.to/tags/rationality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rationality</span></a> and eschew supernatural beliefs. I think human life has arisen from random events &amp; is finite. I believe we are thrown alone into <a href="https://mas.to/tags/existence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>existence</span></a> without a predestined life structure or destiny. As a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/secular" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>secular</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/humanist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>humanist</span></a> and existential therapist, I believe that each of us must decide how to live as fully, happily, ethically, and meaningfully as possible.</p>
