Description

“The publication of Creatures of a Day is reason to celebrate.” –Steven Pinker
In this stunning choice of stories, renowned psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom describes his patients’ struggles–in addition to his own–to come to terms with the two great challenges of existence: learn how to have a meaningful life yet reckon with its inevitable end. We meet a nurse who should stifle the pain of losing her son in an effort 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.

Creatures of a Day is a radically honest observation about the difficulties of human life, but also a celebration of one of the finest fruits–love, circle of relatives, friendship–it could possibly offer. Marcus Aurelius has written that “we are all creatures of a day.” With Yalom as our guide, we can find the means to make our own day not only bearable, but also meaningful and joyful.
