We Are All Creations for a Day

Life is the most precious thing we have. We fear losing it, we fear not seeing the familiar landscape in the morning, not hearing the voices of our loved ones, not mending relationships with those with whom we once quarreled, not visiting the places we dreamed of. It seems that even eternity is not enough for this, let alone the time allocated to each of us. Perhaps only a few are ready to face death calmly – without horror, yet sooner or later it awaits everyone. In this book, Irvin D. Yalom presents stories from his psychotherapeutic practice. Reflecting on them helps to reassess one's situation, accept the thought of finiteness, and prioritize correctly in today's life.
