The publication of Creatures of a Day is reason to celebrate.' Steven PinkerIn this stunning collection of stories, renowned psychiatrist Irvin D. 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.Creatures of a Day 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.
