It has its favorite vocabulary, just as other bodies of thought do, including words like suffering, despair, anxiety, absurdity, uncertainty, freedom, authenticity, and personal responsibility.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe meeting of two threads, the existential and the therapeutic, gave rise to existential therapy, existential psychiatry, and existential coaching. Practitioners who added the word “existential” to their self-description shared certain beliefs about what helping was all about.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eExistential wellness is a contemporary idea and the “next step” in existential thinking. It invites human beings not only to mull over existential questions—about the purpose or purposes of life, about the nature of meaning, about one’s place in the universe, about the requirements of a personal, self-created philosophy of life—but to deeply embrace the facts of existence and to arrive at a place of relative serenity in a sea of anxiety. It invites us to not only think about life but to create a life that works, existentially speaking. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eExistential Wellness is the eighth Volume of the Ethics International Press Critical Psychology and Critical Psychiatry Series.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiography\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEditor(s):\u003c\/span\u003e \n\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDr. Eric Maisel, Ph.D., is a former family therapist, based in California, USA, who works actively as a creativity .
