Julius Hertzfeld, a sixty-five-year-old psychotherapist, discovers he has a terminal illness and a year to live. He decides to seek out Philip, a former patient and his only therapeutic failure, to offer him a second chance. Intending to share his experience and wisdom, Julius integrates Philip into his therapy group. Philip, in turn, introduces the group to the thought of Arthur Schopenhauer, whom he considers his personal therapist. This novel by Irvin Yalom explores the life journey of a man who, facing imminent death, reflects on his life, offering an emotional and intellectual adventure of great intensity.
Irvin David Yalom is an American existential psychiatrist who is an emeritus professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, as well as author of both fiction and nonfiction.
