A través de diez breves relatos, en parte ficticios y en parte reales, en los que Yalom lleva a cabo psicoterapia con diferentes pacientes, el autor expone hasta qué grado pueden estar vinculados los problemas existenciales y la filosofía personal con el malestar psicológico de los individuos, especialmente a través del tema recurrente del miedo a la muerte.
Particularmente interesante el vínculo que traza entre sí mismo, el terapeuta, y el paciente. Al final el primero acaba siendo también un sujeto dentro de la terapia.

It is a joy to read Irvin D. Yalom’s books. He is a gifted storyteller and his books are deeply insightful and honest. In the Creatures of a Day he describes ten stories, lessons in psychotherapy. The patients in these stories were grappling with existential issues, such as how to have a meaningful life and have to deal with anxiety about aging, death, or loss of a loved one
Psychotherapy is a dialog between two people or a group of people. It is a profession that exists behind closed doors, but Yalom allows us the chance to eavesdrop, discovering truths about ourselves at the same time. By combatting our own demons, he encourages us be truthful to ourselves, to resolve to change, to grow.
It is a deeply knowledgeable, wonderful and humane book.

*sigh* How is it that he is still practicing in the same old sexist way that he is known for? I read Love's and was disgusted by it. Has no one told him how sexist he is? In this book, he is still abrupt, judgmental, and harsh with his female clients while being in equal measure kind, patient, and gentle with his male clients. It is annoying.
Now, saying that, I do enjoy reading his case studies and the way he masterfully weaves different theoretical counseling practices into his narratives. I appreciate viewing his sessions in this lens.
