Lets talk about life and lets talk about the end of it.

The first half of the book held valuable insight/perspective. The second half seemed more geared towards those working as therapists. I read it from a list of recommendations. I find having had a mother who was diagnosed with a chronic illness when I was young, now having my own children that is something I fear greatly.

I liked this but I think maybe my expectations were a little high.
This book was overall interesting but I didn't necessarily learn anything new or come away with a lot of insight. I'm thinking this is probably because The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker (which I still haven't technically finished reading) has extensively covered a lot of the topics explored in this book in more detail and it had a huge impact on me.

Interesting one, Yalom theorises that many fears come down to a fear of death at the end of the day and articulates how one might overcome that fear by living a fully present and actualised life
