vaidab 's review for:
Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death
by Irvin D. Yalom
Some interesting thoughts I got from the book:
What would you do if you'd have to relieve your life infinitely. Same pains, same pleasures, same everything. Would it be hell or heaven? Would you still do what you are doing now?
The quality of our life is not determined by our experiences but by our way of interpreting them.
The 4 existential interests: death, isolation, meaning of life, freedom.
Efficient therapy: the patient shares repressed feelings -> the psychologist acknowledges and accepts them -> encouraged by the acceptance, the patient feels safe to share riskier thoughts and feelings.
