“The Existentialist’s Survival Guide is a remarkable book. We
can’t think of another writer who so thoroughly understands
Kierkegaard and his followers, presents their thought more
accessibly than they themselves did, and—crucially— relates them
concretely to the dark places in his own life, and ours.” —
Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein, authors of Plato and a Platypus
Walk Into A Bar, and Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those
Pearly Gates
“When it comes to living, there’s no getting out alive. But books
can help us survive...by passing on what is most important about
being human before we perish. Marino has produced an honest and
moving book of self-help for readers generally disposed to loathe
the genre.” — The Wall Street Journal
“Marino’s brilliant The Existentialist’s Survival Guide: How
to Live Authentically in an Inauthentic Age. . . gives
existentialism a 21st-century presence more gripping, nuanced, and
convincing than in its initial American portrayal 60 years ago. . .
The prose is electric, illustrating the point that existentialism
is also literary.” — The Los Angeles Review of Books
“[Marino] brings his life story together with philosophy in this
lively account of how existentialism can enhance life and awaken
empathy amid the realities of anxiety, death, and depression. . .
His disarming honesty and sense of humor make the book easy to read
despite its heavy subject matter.” — The Christian Century
