About
he Sickness Unto Death, and Other Fun Danish Party Games: Kierkegaard Without the Prozac is your gloriously sarcastic, brutally insightful, and occasionally soul-crushing guide to philosophy's original sadboy, Søren Kierkegaard.
Tired of reading philosophy that feels like intellectual sandpaper? This book unpacks Kierkegaard's anxiety-fueled, despair-drenched theology with the humor and honesty it desperately needs. From aesthetic dead-ends to existential panic, from absurd leaps of faith to spiritual ghosting, this irreverent (but accurate!) guide doesn't just explain Kierkegaard-it translates him for the modern reader who's spiritually curious and emotionally exhausted.
Perfect for readers who love philosophy but hate philosophers, theology with a side of dark humor, and the occasional mental breakdown in pursuit of authenticity.
What you'll get inside:
Pseudonyms, despair, and that one time Abraham almost committed murder in the name of faith
The aesthetic life: fun until it isn't
Why being a good person might still mean you're completely lost
Faith, absurdity, and how to jump into the void without looking down
Kierkegaard's existential glow-up in modern philosophy (yes, Sartre, we see you)
A roadmap for reading his actual books without losing your will to live
And a final call to wake up and stop living someone else's life
No prior philosophy degree required-just a sense of humor, a tolerance for paradox, and maybe a journal for emotional damage control.
