Vad är existentiell hälsa och varför är den viktig?

Abstract

The existential questions are like the stars in the sky – they are always there, but they are only visible at night. The words are Irvin Yaloms, one of the pioneers of existential psychotherapy, with roots in philosophy and phenomenology.
Interest in existential aspects of human health has increased significantly in recent times, both within the research world and in society at large.
Is there evidence that we would feel better if we devoted ourselves more to the eternal questions of life and our existential health – what does the research say?
