Where did you get the idea for Remarks On Existentialism: Boredom, Anxiety and Freedom? (I really love this book, I mean really!)
Jack R. Ernest
Hi Joseph
Sorry i only saw this now as i dont check my email account that much.
That was my first book. I had been thinking about it for perhaps three years in my head before i got around to actually writing it.
With regards the concepts in my non fiction books, i do a lot of reading and thinking to myself. I especially read a lot of sociology and social psychology and then try to put an existential slant on them.
I must say though that i find my later books such as Remarks on Existential Nihilism and Remarks on Existential Sociology much better.
Thanks for the ratings as well
regards

I recently finished reading all of your non-fiction books , now my question is in Remarks on Existential Sociology, you mention Jordan Peterson, but isn't his message (as a whole) totally opposed to your books? also, are you through your books laying out the blueprint of the Overman (Nietzsche)?
