The Sickness Unto Death, and Other Fun Danish Party Games: Kierkegaard Without the Prozac

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.
