Creatures of a Day

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.
