Y’all. Oh my god. What a phenomenal book.
Putting aside Yalom’s fatphobia and misogyny (because yeesh, there was lots of it, and I hope he did work through that on his own time like he mentioned), this book really spoke to me. His analysis of his clients, especially when it pertained to more existential ideas such as death anxiety, was truly enlightening. I thought a lot about how certain bits and pieces from each case pertained to me and what that means for me.
An instructor recommended this book to my class a while ago, and I’m glad he did. It made me think a lot.
