About this product

Product Information

Over the past quarter century Irvin Yalom has established himself as the world's leading group psychotherapist. In STARING AT THE SUN, he explores how the knowledge of our own mortality affects the unconscious mind of every human being. Tackling the effect of mankind's fear of death - both conscious and unconscious - on life and how we might live it, Yalom explains how we find ourselves in need of the comfort of therapy. At age 70 and facing his own fear of death, which he discusses in a special afterword, Dr Yalom tackles his toughest subject yet and finds it to be the root cause of patients' fears, stresses and depression. If therapists are to deliver 'the gift of therapy', they must confront the realities of life for themselves and their practice, as must we all.

  • An engaging book that may take away your fear of death

    This is one of the best books I've ever read about facing one's own death. Irwin Yalom, as always, tells a story in an accessible and engaging way, with his theories liberally peppered with case studies from his work with his own therapy clients. It will appeal alike to psychotherapists/ counsellors and anyone interested in facing their own death head-on without fear.

  • Staring at the Sun

    An excellent piece of writing which goes some way to helping us come to terms with the fact that we all going to die. The book, to some extent, reduces the existential pain we all experience in acknowledging our own mortality and the awareness that 'this is it'!

  • Living with dying

    Yalom provides a lovely clear description of how to live with mortality and cope with dying. It puts things into perspective and explores the acceptance of ourselves and the universe.
