0:00.0	Hey, deserve a listener. Today we have a very special guest with us, Dr. Kirk Snyder. I've been
0:05.4	reading his various publications since I entered the field in the mid 90s. He has published various
0:11.9	books and journal articles over the years, very prolific writer. He, if you don't know, he's a
0:18.3	highly renowned person figure in the field of existential therapy and psychology, but also in the field
0:24.8	in general. I would be surprised if anyone being trained as a therapist in the last 20, 30 years
0:31.6	doesn't know about Dr. Kirk Snyder. Also, in my opinion, he has a brilliant mind, a very
0:37.1	intelligent individual, very interesting person. And also, I find the stuff that I know about Dr. Kirk's,
0:44.8	I've never met him before until today, which I'm quite honored, but I also find you, Dr. Kirk Snyder,
0:50.6	to be a kind soul as well. I could see you being a natural therapist for people. So welcome to
0:56.7	the podcast, Dr. Kirk Snyder. Thank you so much, Kirk. Dr. Honda, I'm very honored to be here with you.
1:04.9	It's great to meet another Kirk, you know. It's not often that I get to meet other Kirk. It's
1:09.6	true. This is one joke and it's a special moment. Okay, so let's get into your book, which I have a
1:18.3	copy here, your newest book. Have you published what, like 30 books? No, more like 14. 14, okay. It's
1:29.3	a very easy read. If you don't know much about existential therapy, it will confuse you kind of,
1:36.9	but there's a lot, there's nothing here that's easy enough for people to understand. It's broken
1:42.8	up into short chapters. I like books that are like that. It makes it easy to read. So I like that
1:50.7	format. But I want to get into some of the things that you talk about in this book. The first
1:54.8	thing I want to talk about, often when people talk about existential therapy or your work, they will
2:00.5	summarize it in this very reductive way. There will be this extremely brief bullet point list of,
2:06.6	like, you know, anxiety and responsibility and, you know, these kinds of things, not only of your
2:11.4	work, but of existential therapists in general, psychologists in general. So I'm really looking
2:16.1	forward to talking with you because I've always wanted to know, how does this work in the mind of
