Colin Wilson

Colin Wilson has written over 100 books. At 24, he was hailed as a major existentialist thinker when his first success, The Outsider (1956) was published. But in many of his books, Mr. Wilson has consistently revealed his contention that insight is achieved during moments of well-being, attained through effort and focus and that pessimism is what robs people of their vital energies. He died in 2013.
