Yalom describes his patients' struggles -- as well as his own -- to come to terms with the two great challenges of existence: how to have a meaningful life yet reckon with its inevitable end. We meet a nurse who must stifle the pain of losing her son in order to comfort her patients' pains, a newly minted psychologist whose studies damage her treasured memories of a lost friend, and a man whose rejection of psychological inquiry forces even Yalom himself into a crisis of confidence.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCreatures of a Day\u003c\/i\u003e is a radically honest statement about the difficulties of human life, but also a celebration of some of the finest fruits -- love, family, friendship -- it can offer. Marcus Aurelius has written that \"we are all creatures of a day.\" With Yalom as our guide, we will find the means to make our own day not only bearable, but also meaningful and joyful.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45113852592279,"sku":"9780465097432","price":1233.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780465097432.webp?v=1769206259","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/creatures-of-a-day-and-other-tales-of-psychotherapy-9780465097432","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
