Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death by Irvin D. Yalom

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

Excellent and insightful. I have read a couple of psychology books, all interesting, but this is the most lyrical one so far. Dr Yalom has such a way with words and yet does not undermine or isolate the reader - most poignantly in his chapter dedicated to therapists. He comes across as likeable and knowleable and is able to apply wider reading, namely refering to great philosophers, to his word as well as building from embedded psychotherapy. I am left with much to do and much to think about pertaining to my own morality and, most excitingly, some further reading!
