  It's hard to be objective with such a good author-scientist. Excellent description, some stories are indeed shocking while he does not tend to sugarcoat the already problematic cases he narrates.

  I often refer to his pages. Yalom, through his stories, makes you reevaluate yourself.

  Reading Yalom's books is like going through a cycle of psychotherapy sessions combined with lessons in stoic coping with difficult thoughts and situations that arise throughout our lives. Having said that, I believe that many of the patterns and principles proposed by the author-psychotherapist-philosopher-psychiatrist Yalom are repeated in his books (especially in books that recount cases he has taken on, like this one). Essentially, having read one is like having read them all in a way. However, they remain extremely enjoyable and useful readings.

  Quite an interesting book that in many points I saw myself facing the same or similar problems that we all encounter daily. It helps you evaluate yourself better and find (more sustainable) solutions.
