Now that the semester final exams are over, I'm back a little more time for other things that the last weeks and months have remained. A while ago I have already read this book by Yalom and must say that it is a "typical Yalom 'is.
offers in 6 stories Yalom insight into his work as a psychotherapist, which most likely as a fusion of analytical psychology (etiology), existentialism (conviction) and humanism (posture ) can be understood. Six stories in which the themes of loss and death times based on real encounters, sometimes explored in fictional realities, to show as large a driving force in our lives.
" Although some of the ideas it can not stand and not continue to live, delete, do most of us are the consciousness of death made by plunging into the tasks of adult life - we have a family to devote ourselves to careers, personal growth, acquire possessions, exercise power try to stay in all winners. Since I am now in life. After this stage, we enter into late age, in the awareness of death shows up again. And now death is ruled threatening - even before he is immediately. "
This is me, moreover, recalls the construction of identity and the fact that for people (survival) is important to maintain a sense of inner stability maintained. This innate constancy quest, which is so powerful, the past appear in a different light to leave, was impressive by Kundera in, Life is Elsewhere 'described and Sloterdijk read probably by this thought inspired, when in the course of his theoretical exercise anthropology viewing donating:
" Behave at all times so that the retelling of your could serve as a career to a generalizable scheme completion history. "
I liked the book really well, as it shows in many details of human behavior and integrates them into a larger frame of reference through which we create meaning. It suggests unusually for thought, creating an interesting perspective on our own actions and behavior.
Of course, these considerations in almost every book by Yalom found (See: The Schopenhauer Cure , Nietzsche Wept , Existential Psychotherapy , Love's executioner , The Panama hat , A human heart ), but the different perspectives that are here taken are, in my opinion, very helpful get out all the shadows that are described there to be able to intuitively close to the actual fire. A fire in us, from which we can probably never make a picture - but it can nevertheless understand intuitively.
Finally, I would like to quote a rate which the aspect of reciprocity by expressing love without cold and analyzing to act like all the other Reziprozitätsbetrachtungen. A sentence that I really like it: love
" The people when they see how a loving picture of themselves in the eyes of a man is reflected on which they really is. "
