Irvin D. Yalom
Suddenly confronted with his own mortality after a routine checkup, eminent psychotherapist Julius Hertzfeld is forced to reexamine his life and work - and seeks out Philip Slate, a sex addict whom he failed to help some 20 years earlier. Yet Philip claims to be cured - miraculously transformed by the pessimistic teachings of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer - and is himself a philosophical counselor in training.
Philip's dour, misanthropic stance compels Julius to invite Philip to join his intensive therapy group in exchange for tutoring on Schopenhauer. But with mere months left, life may be far too short to help Philip or to compete with him for the hearts and minds of the group members. And then again, it might be just long enough.

Content is uniquely organized in form of dialogues among psychiatrist and small group therapy participants. Through dialogue, Schopenhauer philosophy and its tenets explained as they apply to therapy and day-to-day interpersonal relationships and self-understanding.
What an engaging to simultaneously entertain as well as explain a philosopher’s philosophy.
Highly recommended.
