In June 2016, the UK voted to leave the European Union. The
decision plunged the five million EU residents in the UK into a
toxic abyss of fear, anger, shock and shame. Suddenly they were
‘citizens of nowhere’ in a country they regarded as home and
faced having to move back to their country of origin and start life
again, often without their British partners and children. In 2019,
a virus born in a little-known Chinese city over-ran the entire
world, causing many millions of deaths and bringing national
economies and people’s usual ways of life to a standstill. So
much of what we took for granted crumbled to ashes as countries
locked down and families mourned their dead. In this book, leading
existential theorist and practitioner Emmy van Deurzen explores how
we handle such existential crises, and how and what we can learn
from them to better prepare ourselves psychologically for the
future. Inevitably, we will face many more such calamities due to
climate breakdown and the consequent international instability, she
warns. One of those five million EU citizens, Emmy had to fight for
her right to stay. Here she draws on her personal experiences of
such crises, the accounts of others and on her extensive clinical,
theoretical and research knowledge to argue that such events need
not spell the end of life as we know it. Rather, they can open the
door to different, richer and more thoughtful, relational ways of
being in the world.
