Mommy and the Meaning of Life

Every work by Irvin D. Yalom is a bestseller. The storyteller's talent is clearly evident even in those books dedicated to a specific theme. In this book, his writing gift shines brilliantly! One can endlessly hear that words heal, stories teach, but remain a complete skeptic. But as soon as you open Yalom's book and read a few opening lines, these truths cease to be banal. The author is a wonderful storyteller; he not only knows how to tell stories, he loves to do it. Holding this book, you find yourself face to face with the author and become not just a reader, but rather a listener. Well, and of course, a student, because this storyteller teaches. And when he says: "Listen to your patients. Allow them to teach you," for a moment you switch places: you become the doctor, and Yalom is your patient, who teaches his therapist. You just let him do it.
