Staring At The Sun by Irvin Yalom
Each person fears death in their own way. Despite turning to the comforts of children, or wealth, or belief in a higher power, death anxiety is never completely subdued: it is always there, lurking in the hidden ravines of our minds. In STARING AT THE SUN, master psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom faces his own fear of death and examines its role in many patients' fears, stresses and depression. With characteristic wisdom and illuminating case histories, he shows how confronting and coping with death allows us to live in a richer, more compassionate way.
[Yalom is] an amazing storyteller, a gorgeous writer, a great, generous, compassionate thinker and - quite rightly - one of the world's most influential mental healthcare practitioners * GUARDIAN *
