Author's name: Irvin D. Yalom - Benjamin Yalom

“And another self, strong and benevolent, now appears on the scene. It is a self that wants to protect you, the reader, from drowning in the chaos within me. And I resist it, I resist it because I long to share it with you. I spend my days imagining what I can offer you, because, in a way, I find meaning in my existence through writing. Writing does not save, but it often alleviates the loneliness of existence. But now I see clearly: I must save you from the bewilderment that is consuming me. And so, now comes that final, gentle word: The End.”
After losing his wife Marilyn and experiencing memory loss, Irvin Yalom decided to offer short, one-hour consultations. In this book, he shares lessons on the importance of the human connection between therapist and patient, emphasizing that honesty and sincerity are key to recovery.
