Description
Irv Yalom's book, "Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death," is a book that helps people to understand the fear of death and how to overcome it. The book is divided into three parts: the first part is about the fear of death and how it affects people, the second part is about how to deal with the fear of death, and the third part is about how to live a meaningful life.
Written in Irv Yalom's inimitable story-telling style,
Staring at the Sun is a profoundly encouraging approach to the universal issue of mortality. In this magisterial opus, capping a lifetime of work and personal experience, Dr. Yalom helps us recognize that the fear of death is at the heart of much of our anxiety. Such recognition is often catalyzed by an awakening experience"-a dream, or loss (the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job or home), illness, trauma, or aging. Once we confront our own mortality, Dr. Yalom writes, we are inspired to rearrange our priorities, communicate more deeply with those we love, appreciate more keenly the beauty of life, and increase our willingness to take the risks necessary for personal fulfillment.
