3.5 actually! It was an engaging story, just not my favorite style of writing and no character that I was truly able to relate to. But a fun read and a witty look at therapy for sure.

This was the first book by Irvin Yalom that I read, and I recommend it to anyone curious about his works. It’s a great introduction to his style and a fun read that I didn’t want to put down. If possible, read it with a friend you can talk about it with.

Отличная книга - видимо, секрет с одной стороны, в литературном таланте автора.
А с другой - в его искренней любви к своей профессии.
Не скажу, что эта книга изменила мое скептическое отношение к этой области, но когда читаешь книги настоящих энтузиастов, это всегда интересно.
И какой занятный сюжет - книжка читается на одном дыхании.

Upd
Удивительно - через 10 лет я вообще не смог осилить это до конца.
Возможно, я был не в настроение для подобной литературы, но мне книга показалось примитивной и самокопательской..

Что уж удивляться противоположным отзывам, если один и тот же человек столь по разному книгу воспринимает.

С другой стороны, это явно говорит о ее нетривиальности.
Сейчас я бы поставил две звездочки, но оставлю в связи с этим соображением мою изначальную оценку
