“Probably the most Guardian‘s best books of 2017″

Bestselling author and psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom puts himself on the couch in a lapidary memoir

Irvin D. Yalom has made a career of investigating the lives of others. In this profound memoir, he turns his writing and his therapeutic eye on himself. He opens his story with a nightmare: He’s twelve, and is riding his bike past the home of an acne-scarred girl. Like each morning, he calls out, hoping to befriend her, “Hello Measles!” But in his dream, the girl’s father makes Yalom remember the fact that his daily greeting had hurt her. For Yalom, this was once the birth of empathy; he would not omit the lesson. As Becoming Myself unfolds, we see the birth of the insightful thinker whose books have been a beacon to such a lot of. This isn’t simply a man’s life story, Yalom’s reflections on his life and development are a call for participation for us to reflect on the origins of our own selves and the meanings of our lives.
