An invited lecture: Dr. Xuefu Wang illuminates The Courage to Create
Dr. Wang was invited by China Renmin University Press to attend the Shanghai Book Fair and present on Rollo May 's The Courage to Create. This event was held in celebration of the huge republication of Rollo May’s works with 10 volumes altogether.
It is delightful to see that Rollo May’s works enjoy widespread circulation in China and have appealed to a lot of Chinese readers and audiences.
This lecture drew a present and online attendance of over 50,000 people
Dr.Wang Invited to Lead Reading of The Courage to Create
At the recently concluded August 2025 Shanghai Book Fair, Dr.Wang’s lecture titled The Courage to Create: Awakening Inner Creativity in an Age of Anxiety sparked enthusiastic responses. Audiences were captivated by his unique interpretations of core themes in The Courage to Create—such as "anxiety," "freedom," and "self-awareness."
Following the lecture, many readers, still eager for more, inquired about further learning opportunities.
In response to overwhelming demand from book lovers and an official invitation from the China Renmin University Press, Dr.Wang will launch a three-week guided reading program in September, leading participants on an in-depth exploration of this landmark work in existential psychology.

Reading Group at Zhi Mian Institute for Counseling & Psychotherapy
The book we read: Existential Counselling & Psychotherapy in Practice
Author: Emmy van Deurzen
"From Mar. 9, 2024 to Dec. 21 2024, we, at Zhi Mian institute, conducted an Emmy van Deurzen Reading Group that met both online and in person. Bringing together around 60 participants from across China, we held weekly sessions every Saturday night over a period of 10 months, with approximately 90 hours in total. Through this group reading, we stimulated the interest in existential psychology of many Chinese people. We have seen an upsurge of enthusiasm of existential therapy in China in recent years."
