Again a thoughtful book by Irv. On the verge of his own existence he gives us the best possible gift. Part of his wisdom in the form of a wave, the ripple effect. I find this book motivational although I share his visions and my thoughts are in the same direction for many years. Once again the practical work with his patients is so genuine and authentic. I love his style for the process (the connection) as priority number one and on top of it to build. In fact to create safe and provoking environment for the people to build their own meaning/sense of life. I will read that book again when I am at age or have existential dilemmas. The last chapter is a must read.

great read for people who would like to learn a lot more about fear of death being universal.
I found this book to be a must read in pondering death. Whether it be the death of a loved one or yourself. Yalom offers a unique secular perspective on death that offers one the ability to cope with the anxiety of death.

Tre stelle e mezza.
Un libro che affronta un tema importante, la paura della morte, attraverso la descrizione delle strategie utilizzate per il trattamento dei pazienti incontrati nel corso della sua lunghissima carriera di terapeuta, strategie per le quali è debitore a molti pensatori del passato e, in particolare, a Epicuro, da lui definito uno "psicoterapeuta protoesistenziale".
Yalom non pretende di darci la ricetta con cui affrontare un problema che prima o poi, e in misura diversa, riguarda tutti ma, attraverso la descrizione dei suoi casi clinici, ci racconta come lo affronta lui, con sincerità e in modo gradevole comprensibile a tutti.

Struggling with my own death anxiety and intrusive thoughts, this book helped paving the path to being at peace with mortality. I connected with the various content the book presents and felt like i was not the only one that thought these thoughts and had these concerns. One thing that stays with me is the description of a dream of one of Dr. Irvin’s patients that goes, “ It’s a pitch black night. Im alone in my boat floating in a harbor. I see the lights of many other boats. I know i cant reach them, cant join with them. But how comforting it is to see all those other lights bobbing in the harbor.”
