Synopsis

In his long career, eminent psychotherapist and author Irvin Yalom has pressed his patients and readers to grapple with life's two greatest challenges: that we all must die, and that each of us is responsible for leading a life worth living. In Creatures of a Day, he and his patients confront the difficulty of these challenges. Although these people have come to Yalom seeking relief, recognition, or meaning, they discover that such things are rarely found in the places where we think to look.Like Love's Executioner and Yalom's other writings, Creatures of a Day lays bare the necessary task we each face every day: to make our own lives meaningful.

Goodreads review by Natalie

I started this collection with the intent of re-familiarizing myself with Yalom's unique wisdom and forthright regard with his patients.

Goodreads review by Ali

4.5 داستان‌هایی از جلسات واقعی روان‌درمانی یالوم با محوریت اضطراب مرگ خوب، موثر، تکان‌دهنده و خاص بود. الحق که مشکلات واقعی آدم‌های معمولی حتی از پیچیده‌ترین تخیلات بهترین‌ نویسنده‌ها هم عجیب‌تره. گاهی از تصور اینکه چنین افرادی با چنین مشکلاتی واقعا وجود دارن، بدنم مور مور می‌شد. پیرمردی تنها و سرحال......more
