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.
