Schopenhauer Cure
Schopenhauer Cure | Irvin D Yalom
Suddenly confronted with his own mortality after a routine checkup, eminent psychotherapist Julius Hertzfeld is forced to reexamine his life and work -- and seeks out Philip Slate, a sex addict whom he failed to help some twenty years earlier. Yet Philip claims to be cured -- miraculously transformed by the pessimistic teachings of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer -- and is, himself, a philosophical counselor in training. Philips dour, misanthropic stance compels Julius to invite Philip to join his intensive therapy group in exchange for tutoring on Schopenhauer. But with mere months left, life may be far too short to help Philip or to compete with him for the hearts and minds of the group members. And then again, it might be just long enough.

An enjoyable read, especially if you have a background in philosophy, psychotherapy, or both. Interesting interviews with the author in the back. Minka recommends this book :). #psychology #CatsOfLitsy

"If perspective is attuned, attention rapt, and knowledge vast, then one enters everydayness in a perpetual state of wonderment."
Mimi agrees :) #psychology #catsoflitsy

Ha...yep, Yalom is definitely an existentialist.

Just ordered this from Amazon! Can't wait to read it. It's about a therapist who is dying and joins a group therapy experience during his final months. Yalom is a huge name in existential therapy and also writes fictional philosophy-psychotherapy mash-ups :)
