This book was interesting. I finished it in one go. In plain terms, the book claims despair stems from the desire to not accept oneself. The cure then for despair is to accept oneself. Furthermore, within Christianity, sin is despair and willing to be oneself is faith. Kierkegaard presents the opposite of sin as faith, not virtue.
About the book's structure, there are many descriptions of the types of despair and what is the self. It's hard to read in the beginning but the argument flows once you understand Kierkegaard's terms.

Kierkegaards Schreibstil ist interessant und, meines Erachtens, angenehm zu lesen, sodass er seine Positionen anschaulich zur Geltung bringen kann.
Der zweite Abschnitt hat mir aufgrund von inhaltlich mangelnder Kohärenz weniger gefallen, doch als Ganzes ein gelungenes Werk.

3.5 stars: good stuff from the first existentialist. I really like the Despair, I don’t mind the Faith, but the sin is a wicked drag.
