About this listen
Psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom probes further into the mysteries of the therapeutic encounter in this entertaining and thoughtful follow-up to his best-selling Love's Executioner.
In six enthralling stories drawn from his own clinical experience, Irvin D. Yalom once again proves himself an intrepid explorer of the human psyche as he guides his patients - and himself - toward transformation. With eloquent detail and sharp-eyed observation, Yalom introduces us to a memorable cast of characters. Drifting through his dreams and trampling through his thoughts are Paula, Yalom's "courtesan of death"; Myrna, whose eavesdropping gives new meaning to patient confidentiality; Magnolia, into whose ample lap Yalom longs to pour his own sorrows, even as he strives to ease hers; and Momma - ill tempered, overpowering, and suffocating her son with both love and disapproval. A richly rewarding, almost illicit glimpse into the therapist's heart and mind, Momma and the Meaning of Life illuminates the unique potential of every human relationship.

Weaker follow-up, but still blew me away
Fantastic book if you ever have the chance to read it. Coming straight out of Love's Executioner, I fell deep into this book and was swept away by Yalom's marvelous way to capture the feeling of a scene. I was left cringing sometimes, though, but I can't really tell if it's due to a more romanticized telling of his stories, or my own bias. Probably my own bias, but I'm a hardass so I'll still give it 4 stars. Whichever it was, I still wholeheartedly recommend you give the book a try; you'll probably fall in love.
