About this listen
In 19th-century Vienna, a drama of love, fate, and will is played out amid the intellectual ferment that defined the era.
Josef Breuer, one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, is at the height of his career. Friedrich Nietzsche, Europe's greatest philosopher, is on the brink of suicidal despair, unable to find a cure for the headaches and other ailments that plague him. When he agrees to treat Nietzsche with his experimental "talking cure", Breuer never expects that he, too, will find solace in their sessions. Only through facing his own inner demons can the gifted healer begin to help his patient.
In When Nietzsche Wept, Irvin Yalom blends fact and fiction, atmosphere and suspense to unfold an unforgettable story about the redemptive power of friendship.

Amazing!
This is going into my list of personal favourites! An extremely captivating discussion of the psychology of obsession, and a testament to the transformative power of open and honest conversation not only with other but ourselves as well. It provided me with a much-needed recontextualization of Nietzsche’s work!

Truly fascinating, a wonderful book.
I've never read the book before, but I'm going to pick it up now, because of this audio book. What a wonderful story, and great narration. As someone who has had my own "Lou Salome" of sorts in my own life as well, who I used to bounce off so many ideas, this was a wonderful teaching tool to help me more come to terms that my idolizing of this woman is an expression of myself trying to avoid deeper issues that have needed addressing. The narration is fantastic, the story wonderful and profound and heart-wrenching, and I highly recommend this audiobook to everyone!

Superb Audiobook
Yalom is a gifted writer and very insightful about Freud, Nietzsche and Existential Therapy. As such, the novel was most appealing to me based on the historical aspects.
The narration is superb. Paul interpretation (with the right accent) of the story characters was a delight to listen.
Overall I great audio book. Highly recommend.

I felt regret every time I had to pause the recording
I haven't had such an emotional response to a novel in awhile. The fact that the author went to such lengths to add historical accuracy greatly enhances the experience. My opinion may be biased, because I work in the mental health field and find history fafascinating, but there are important themes here, that most people will relate to.

Boring
It felt like the name of Nietzsche was hijacked to create soup of brainwashing misrepresentations of historical events.
