This book is written very nicely, and I am really interested in the topic – but all the dream interpretation ruined it for me. Instead of getting to the bottom of people’s problems by talking to them, they all happen to have a really telling dream that Yalom always interprets as a metaphor for death anxiety. After a dozen dreams (or something along those lines), I lost patience, as it felt like Sherlock Holmes solving cases in ways nobody can follow and therefore can't learn anything from. I’ll have to find another book on this topic.
