About the product What this book is about In this book, Irwin Yalom once again shows himself to be a fearless explorer of the human psyche and a talented storyteller. In six fascinating stories based on personal professional experience, he leads his patients — and himself — step by step in the direction of transformation. Lively, vivid images of heroes capture from the first pages. Everyone solves a life problem, which, it would seem, has no solution, but assumes only to go with the flow, resigned to fate. And in each story we see how a person, having revealed his resources with the help of a psychotherapist, changes himself, overcomes circumstances and eventually wins. About the Author Irwin D. Yalom is an internationally renowned American writer and psychotherapist and professor emeritus of psychiatry at Stanford University. His novels «Schopenhauer as Medicine», «When Nietzsche Cried», «Liar on the Couch», «Peering into the Sun», «Spinoza’s Problem» won the hearts of millions of readers and became bestsellers in many countries. Irwin Yalom is rightfully considered the discoverer of the genre of psychotherapeutic literature, combining fascinating stories with the understanding of the main issues in human life and the psychotherapeutic effect. For whom For anyone interested in psychology, psychotherapy and good literature. Reviews “Perhaps the most personal book of Yalom. The story of a difficult relationship with a domineering mother, who is proud of her famous son, smoothly transitions to the stories of saving patients in seemingly desperate situations. » — Publishers Weekly “Yalom is a magician. This book is another wonderful confirmation that his gift as a psychotherapist is not inferior to his literary talent. » — New York Times Abstract Every piece by Irwin Yalom is a bestseller. The talent of the storyteller is clearly visible even in those of his books that are devoted to special topics. In the same book, his literary gift simply shines! You can endlessly hear that the word heals, history teaches, but at the same time remain a complete skeptic. But once you open Yalom’s book and read the first few lines, these truths cease to be trivial. The author is a wonderful storyteller, he not only knows how to tell, he loves to do it. Taking this book in your hands, you are left alone with the author and become not a reader, but rather a listener. Well, and, of course, a student, because this storyteller teaches. And when he says, “Listen to your patients. Let them teach you,” for a moment you change places: you become a doctor, and Yal becomes your patient, who teaches his therapist. Just let him do it.
