staring at the sun irvin d yalom

Each person fears death in their own way. Despite turning to the comforts of children, or wealth, or belief in a higher power, death anxiety is never completely subdued: it is always there, lurking in the hidden ravines of our minds.In STARING AT THE SUN, master psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom faces his own fear of death and examines its role in many patients'' fears, stresses and depression. With characteristic wisdom and illuminating case histories, he shows how confronting and coping with death allows us to live in a richer, more compassionate way.

Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2011Staring at the Sun charts the life of Jean Serjeant, from her beginning as a naive, carefree country girl before the war through to her wry and trenchant old age in the year 2020. We follow her bruising experience in marriage, her probing of male truths, her adventures in motherhood and in China and we cannot fail to be moved by the questions she asks of life and the often unsatisfactory answers it provides.

A deeply moving and revealing chronicle, from one of the most prominent psychotherapists of our time, of working under wholly new circumstances, and the challenges and breakthroughs he''s made as he takes on patients for one hour, one time only.Facing memory loss at age 93, as well as the fallout from a pandemic that moved much of daily life online, legendary psychotherapist and bestselling author Irvin Yalom was forced to vastly reconsider the shape of his sessions with patients. But rather than throw in the towel in the face of change, Dr Yalom considered the limitations imposed by these new realities head on, and revolutionized his practice. Dr Yalom wondered if perhaps his own practice could focus deeply on the work that could be achieved in a one-hour, one-time meeting between patient and practitioner-employing an even more concerted use of his "here and now" approach. As he began these one-time sessions, the beloved veteran therapist found himself freed to reach ever deeper places with new patients on a shortened timeline, without the buffer of future appointments.In HOUR OF THE HEART, Yalom recounts some of these intense, life-changing consultations, exploring an array of human predicaments, and his own late-career development as a therapist. In recounting these consultations, he shows how a therapist''s willingness to be open themselves helps the patient let down their own guard, leading to a deeper and more immediate connection-one necessary to achieve profound realizations in just sixty minutes.Life is precious and our time together short. HOUR OF THE HEART shows us how to relate to each other better in the moment, with more honesty and vulnerability. That hour of connection, occurring during a time of isolation and grief for so many, helped to sustain both patient and therapist, and enriched Yalom''s vision of what psychotherapy can do. This transformative account of a new way of connecting and sharing is for all of us looking to build relationships with greater immediacy, authenticity, and openness-in every area of life.

Imagine the scene, 221b baker street, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are in their rooms, Holmes is smoking his pipe staring at the ceiling, "Watson he cries, What do you know about Vanderbilt? Make a long arm and look in that wonderful book ''The Curious Book of Sherlock Holmes Characters'', a truly remarkable work, packed will information about every character we have encountered in our 56 short stories and 4 novellas. This writer has even included that carbuncle eating goose and that lazy dog that did nothing." Watson stretched out his arm and picked it up from the coffee table, "I like to keep it handy, it looks so nice on this table, giving the whole room an air of sophistication. In addition it''s so large and thick, it would stop an air rifle bullet at a thousand yards. Only the other day I looked up Captain Calhoun and Messrs. Biddle, Hayward and Moffat and found that there was a link between these individuals." Holmes thought a moment, and said "What links Miss Hunter, Miss Smith, Miss Westbury and Miss De Merville?", "Too easy" cried Watson. "What about this Holmes, get those braincells working, Which Canon story has 4 totally unrelated people with the same surname (last name), I can give you a clue, one was a policeman, one was an alias, one was a teen and one was an official. " "And this book lists them all?" asked Holmes, "Yes, there are over one thousand characters in it and of course, we both get a special mention, and it''s illustrated throughout" "Sidney Paget again, I suppose?" "Oh no, not just him, but artists like Frederic Dorr Steele of Collier''s fame, Ernest Flammarion, F. H. Townsend, Josef Friedrich, Paul Thiriat, Richard Gutschmidt, Arthur Twidle et al. It''s a must have for anyone seriously into Us."Mike Foy''s mammoth book includes all the characters (animals included) from the Sherlock Holmes canon, with as many illustrations as possible. It''s one of the largest compilations of its kind and an excellent reference resource for Sherlock Holmes fans.

A church art exhibition turns deadly . . .''Art, my dear boy,'' said Mr Askern, ''especially sacred art, needs tradition. Tradition is the bedrock of our art . . .''He broke off, staring at the woman in front of him. Her face seemed to lose all definition and her skin turned an unnatural shade of putty-coloured grey.

Love''s Executioner offers us the humane and extraordinary insight of renowned psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom into the lives of ten of his patients - and through them into the minds of us allWhy was Saul tormented by three unopened letters from Stockholm? What made Thelma spend her whole life raking over a long-past love affair? How did Carlos''s macho fantasies help him deal with terminal cancer?In this engrossing book, Irvin Yalom gives detailed and deeply affecting accounts of his work with these and seven other patients. Deep down, all of them were suffering from the basic human anxieties - isolation, fear of death or freedom, a sense of the meaninglessness of life - that none of us can escape completely. And yet, as the case histories make touchingly clear, it is only by facing such anxieties head on that we can hope to come to terms with them and develop. Throughout, Dr Jalom remains refreshingly frank about his own errors and prejudices; his book provides a rare glimpse into the consulting room of a master therapist.''Dr Yalom demonstrates once again that in the right hands, the stuff of therapy has the interest of the richest and most inventive fiction'' Eva Hoffman, New York Times''These remarkably moving and instructive tales of the psychiatric encounter bring the reader into novel territories of the mind - and the landscape is truly unforgettable'' Maggie Scarf''Love''s Executioner is one of those rare books that suggests both the mystery and the poetry of the psychotherapeutic process.

When sixteen-year-old Alfred Rosenberg is called into his headmaster’s office for anti-Semitic remarks he made during a school speech, he is forced, as punishment, to memorize passages about Spinoza from the autobiography of the German poet Goethe. Rosenberg is stunned to discover that Goethe, his idol, was a great admirer of the Jewish seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza. Long after graduation, Rosenberg remains haunted by this “Spinoza problem”: how could the German genius Goethe have been inspired by a member of a race Rosenberg considers so inferior to his own, a race he was determined to destroy?Spinoza himself was no stranger to punishment during his lifetime. Because of his unorthodox religious views, he was excommunicated from the Amsterdam Jewish community in 1656, at the age of twenty-four, and banished from the only world he had ever known. Though his life was short and he lived without means in great isolation, he nonetheless produced works that changed the course of history. Over the years, Rosenberg rose through the ranks to become an outspoken Nazi ideologue, a faithful servant of Hitler, and the main author of racial policy for the Third Reich. Still, his Spinoza obsession lingered.By imagining the unexpected intersection of Spinoza’s life with Rosenberg’s, internationally bestselling novelist Irvin D. Yalom explores the mindsets of two men separated by 300 years. Using his skills as a psychiatrist, he explores the inner lives of Spinoza, the saintly secular philosopher, and of Rosenberg, the godless mass murderer.

Skupinová a individuální psychoterapie jsou rovnocennými metodami, mají stejnou účinnost, každý z obou přístupů k terapeutické práci má však své zásady a je vhodný pro jiný typ klientů. Každý z přístupů může mít také vliv na jiné proměnné a většinou má odlišné výsledky. Irvin D. Yalom, mezinárodně uznávaný dynamicky orientovaný psychoterapeut a psychiatr s dlouholetou praxí a zároveň světoznámý spisovatel, v této knize spojuje obojí. Velmi podrobně popisuje způsoby práce se skupinou i úskalí, která taková práce má, její omezení i účinné faktory. Vychází nejen ze svých dlouholetých zkušeností a zkušeností svých kolegů, ale také z výzkumů. Teoretická pojednání často prokládá kazuistikami, které činí text čtivějším, a problém vysvětluje na konkrétních případech z praxe. Teorie a praxe skupinové psychoterapie je základní učebnicí a příručkou pro všechny terapeuty a poradce pracující se skupinou, bez ohledu na to, jaký terapeutický směr zastávají.Irvin D. Yalom je emeritním profesorem psychiatrie na Stanfordově univerzitě.

Světoznámý psychiatr a autor Irvin Yalom věnoval svou kariéru práci s lidmi, kteří se potýkají s úzkostí a zármutkem. Sám ovšem úzkosti a zármutku začal čelit až ve chvíli, kdy jeho milovaná žena Marilyn onemocněla rakovinou. V této knize se potkávají cesty obou z nich. Marilyn odešla v pokoji, Irvin se učí žít bez ní.V prvních měsících po diagnóze společně psali o tom, jaké to je, čelit vlastní smrtelnosti a zvládat to, že ztratí někoho, koho milujeme. Jejich společný život byl skutečně požehnaný, obklopený milující rodinou a nádhernou přírodou Palo Alta, naplněný společnou láskou, ale stejně jako my museli čelit nevyhnutelnému v podobě smrti. Společně psali o intimitě, lásce a zármutku. Když Marilyn odešla, Irvin i jejich děti společně oslavili její život a v závěrečné části knihy Irvin velmi upřímně píše o věcech, které přišly s čerstvým vdovstvím. O touze po intimitě, která se s Marilyiným odchodem vytratila, o tom, jaké to je být po tak dlouhých společných letech sám, o vděčnosti za to, co spolu se svou milovanou ženou prožil. O tom, že smysl života není v našich úspěších, v naplnění někdy nereálných představ, ale v hlubokých vztazích, které společně pěstujeme.

V době, kdy konfrontace s tématem smrti přiměje významného psychiatra Hertzfelda zamýšlet se nad smyslem svého životního povolání, naváže znovu kontakt s Philipem, atraktivním a arogantním člověkem závislým na sexu, kterého léčil před patnácti lety. Filozof Philip nyní studuje, aby se stal sám terapeutem. Hertzfeld mu má poskytnout supervizní hodiny potřebné k dosažení titulu - ovšem pouze za předpokladu, že se Philip nejprve zúčastní Hertzfeldovy skupinové terapie, během níž by pracoval na svých vztazích. Shodou okolností se však ukáže, že Pam, další členka terapeutické skupiny, je jednou z Philipových obětí před mnoha lety - a dodnes je touto zkušeností traumatizovaná. Konfrontace s touto situací z minulosti přivede členy terapeutické skupiny k nečekané účasti a k nebývalým změnám v jejich životě…Yalom zde rozehrává skutečný příběh ze života filozofa Artura Schopenhauera (který je Philipovým osobním guru, alter ego a inspirací) do podoby čtivého románu, spojujícího pohled do prostředí skupinové terapie s vlivem Schopenhauerových myšlenek na současnou filozofii.

Irvin D. Yalom celý svůj profesní život strávil zkoumáním života druhých lidí. Ve svých vzpomínkách obrací své terapeutické oko na sebe samého. Svůj příběh začíná jednou noční můrou: Je mu dvanáct a jede na kole podél domu, kde bydlí dívka s výrazným akné. Tak jako každé ráno na ni ve snaze se s ní skamarádit volá: „Ahoj, Vosypko!“ Ale dívčin otec mu ve snu vysvětluje, že tenhle pozdrav dívku zraňuje. V Yalomovi se tehdy zrodila empatie. Tato kniha není pouhým popisem jednoho života. Yalom se v ní vrací ke svým klientům a ke knihám, které napsal. Důležité jsou ale hlavně vztahy, které prožil a prožívá. Mluví v ní o své ženě, s níž se seznámil díky tomu, že ho jeho kamarád vtáhl do okna domu, kde se konala party její rodiny, a s níž žije více než 65 let. Vrací se k různým cestám, které se svou ženou uskutečnil, ať už to byly líbánky, na kterých si půjčili starou Vespu a projeli Francii, nebo cesta na Bali, kterou oslavili, že jejich nejmladší dítě odešlo z domu. Reflektuje svůj život i svou práci, smutně mluví o rozpadu manželství svých dětí a o tom, jak s Marylin budovali svůj vztah a překonali různé krizové momenty. Jeho kniha je také vzpomínkami oboru. Zmiňuje v ní řadu významných psychologů, s nimiž se setkal a spolupracoval, a také své kolegy, od nichž se i dnes učí novým přístupům. Se čtenářem se loučí jako starý muž, který bere občasné výpadky paměti jako jistou výhodu. Knihy, na které pozapomněl, si může přečíst znovu.

Audiokniha: Strhující drama o lásce, nenávisti a vůli. Jeden z bestselerových románů prominentního amerického psychoterapeuta nás přivádí do Vídně 19. století, do kolébky psychoanalýzy. Hlavními protagonisty fiktivního příběhu jsou filozof Friedrich Nietzsche a psycholog, jeden z předchůdců psychoanalýzy, psycholog Josef Breuer. Nietzsche přichází kvůli svým sebevražedným tendencím k Breuerovi, aby se u něho léčil. Na pozadí jejich vztahu, tedy vztahu mezi jedním z největších evropských filozofů a nadaným terapeutem, dochází k setkání světů filozofie a psychologie. V příběhu se objeví také mladý, začínající lékař Sigmund Freud… Když Nietzsche plakal je příběhem o romantické posedlosti, o zachraňující moci přátelství, o úkolu odborníka pohlédnout do tváře vlastnímu démonu, a tak nalézt schopnost pomoci svému klientovi. Kniha je mistrovskou směsicí fakt a fikce. Ve skutečnosti se Friedrich Nietzsche a Josef Breuer nikdy nesetkali. A psychoterapie samozřejmě nevznikla jako výsledek jejich setkání. Nicméně životní situace hlavních postav je založena na reálných faktech a základní prvky románu – Breuerovo duševní trápení, Nietzscheho zoufalství, Anna O., Lou Salomé, Freudovo přátelství s Breuerem, tepající zárodek psychoanalýzy – měly své historické místo ve Vídni roku 1882. Kniha Když Nietzsche plakal získala cenu Commonwealth Gold Medal za nejlepší román roku 1993, v roce 2009 byla vyznamenána vídeňským knižním veletrhem a sto tisíc výtisků bylo zdarma distribuováno obyvatelům Vídně. Kniha byla přeložena do téměř dvaceti jazyků a znají ji čtenáři po celém světě. Přes čtyři roky byla např. nejprodávanější knihou v Izraeli a na žebříčku bestsellerů se ocitla ve dvanácti zemích.

O překonávání strachu ze smrti Ranou, kterou ve své osmé beletristické knize psychoterapeut I. D. Yalom otevírá, a která každého z nás po celý život provází, je vědomí vlastní smrtelnosti. A protože nejsme s to žít s pohledem upřeným přímo do slunce tohoto poznání, pomocí nejrůznějších psychických mechanismů se tomuto drtivému vědomí snažíme uniknout. Přes všechnu snahu však na ně stále narážíme, a to zvláště tehdy, kdy se nám zdá, že jsme se pojistili zvenčí, ať skrze majetek, pocit úspěchu, nebo krátkodobé smyslové uspokojení.

A CLASSIC 1930s COMIC STRIP: The New Yorker’s first art editor satirizes the petit bourgeoisie in these stylishly eccentric cartoons with echoes of Cheever and Wodehouse.Rea Irvin was The New Yorker’s first art editor and creator of the magazine’s iconic mascot, the butterfly enthusiast Eustace Tilly. In 1930, he ventured into new territory with the comic strip The Smythes. The Smythes—comprised of John, Margie, and their two forgettable children, Willie and Maudie—are a niceish suburban family, restless in their social stature, and eager to climb a sometimes wobbly social ladder (a ladder made even wobblier by the Great Depression). Irvin’s distinct, graceful line renders the Smythes in all their glory and hilarity as they navigate ill-fated dinner parties with pompous socialites, fend off robbers dressed as Santa, and get chased out of restaurants by cleaver-wielding chefs. With flavors of the upper-crust humor of Wodehouse and the suburban surrealism of Cheever, The Smythes drolly captures the joys, heartbreaks, and humiliations of being in a family. Handpicked by acclaimed cartoonists R. Kikuo Johnson and Dash Shaw—who also penned the introduction together—this new selection of Smythes strips also includes an afterword by comics historian Caitlin McGurk that sheds new light on Irvin’s work and life. An unsung masterpiece of cartooning, The Smythes is finally available to a new generation of readers ready to marvel at the full reach of Irvin’s artistic abilities.

The last climb of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, towards the summit of Mount Everest on 8 June 1924, has been shrouded in mystery for a century. Were they the first humans to stand at the highest point in the world? The discovery of Mallory's body in 1999 did nothing to resolve the mystery. Until now, accounts of their climb have been driven by speculation and preconceived narrative. In this book, which marks the 100th anniversary of the fateful climb, Dr Robert Edwards brings the fresh and original perspective of a mathematician to the story of Mallory and Irvine. Dr Edwards has assembled the contemporary accounts of the early British expeditions, written by the climbers and their leaders, and has identified their anomalies and inconsistencies. He has studied the letters of George Mallory, and has held in his hand the diaries of Andrew Irvine. He has viewed, in person, some of the surviving artifacts: the ice axe found in 1933, and Mallory's boots, recovered in 1999\. He has corresponded with modern mountaineers who have climbed Everest. Above all, he has applied mathematics and modern imaging and mapping technology to an analysis of what the 1924 climbers could, and could not, have seen and done.

Many people are familiar with astrology only through Sun-sign columns in newspapers, but they have little understanding of what it really means to be born “under” a particular zodiac sign. The astrological student may know that the Sun is the most important factor in the birth horoscope; but frequently used terms such as “self expression”give little insight into this most profound and complex of astrological symbols. The seminars in this reprint of the CPA Press original volume explore the many dimensions of the astrological Sun, from the Sun as a father symbol to its importance as a significator of personal identity, vocation, and spiritual values. Also examined are progressions of the Sun to natal planets, and major planetary aspects to the natal Sun. With so little written work available on the Sun in the horoscope, this innovative volume off ers psychological and astrological perspectives, which will be invaluable for both the student and the professional astrologer.

A young boy goes on a journey to meet the Sun and discovers his inner light, in this wondrous picture book debut from the NYT-Bestselling graphic novelist of Not Funny Ha-Ha. A Marginalian Favorite Book of 2023!“A boy befriends the sun in a story that will fill readers with the deep warmth emanating from its two lead characters. I wasn’t prepared for this book and the affecting warmth of its wisdom.” —Cartoonist and illustrator R. Kikuo Johnson"A beautiful exploration of the inner light in all of us." —Cartoonist and animator Dash ShawHis mother says it's too far away. His dad says it's too hot. And his brother says he has more important things to do. But none of this discourages a young boy from pursuing his plan: to fly up into the sky to touch the Sun, whose light always feels so nice on his skin. And so, off he goes, all by himself. Warm and kindly, the Sun shows the boy the world from her perspective: her friends the clouds, the beaches upon which she shines down, the trees she's grown, the rainbows she creates. In return, the boy shares with her some of his dreams, fears, hopes, and uncertainties—complexities of the human condition that the Sun, as a cosmic force of constant light, has never experienced. In this way, the boy begins to understand something about the pattern of light and shadow that makes up every human life. And when it's time to part ways, the boy returns home to his family changed, with an inner light that reminds him that the cosmic force of the sun is in him, too, always, though darkness falls, though he sleeps and dreams, though doubts and fears and gloominess come, too.Â

New research suggests that our sun exposure over a lifetime - even before we were born - may shape our risk of developing a range of different illnesses, from depression to diabetes.Bursting with cutting-edge science and eye-opening advice, Chasing the Sun explores the extraordinary significance of sunlight, from ancient solstice celebrations to modern sleep labs, and from the unexpected health benefits of sun exposure to what the Amish know about sleep that the rest of us don''t.As more of us move into light-polluted cities, spending our days in dim offices and our evenings watching brightly lit screens, we are in danger of losing something vital: our connection to the star that gave us life.

Song of the Sun God spans three continents and three generations of a family that remains dedicated to its homeland, whilst learning to embrace its new home. Nala and Rajan, a young couple, begin their married life in 1946, on the eve of Ceylon’s independence from Britain. Arranged in marriage, they learn to love each other and protect their growing family, against the backdrop of increasing ethnic tension. Funny, warm and tender, we see Nala and Rajan’s family navigate war, migration, old loyalties and new beginnings, relying on the philosophy of their religion, their ancestors and each other. As the country descends into a bloody civil war, Nala and Rajan must decide which path is best for their family; and live with the consequences of their mistakes. Over time, Nala and Rajan teach their family why some parts of their history and heritage are worth holding onto; and why some parts and people have to be left behind. Song of the Sun God is about the wisdom, mistakes and sacrifices of our past that enable us to live more freely in the future. PRAISE FOR SONG OF THE SUN GOD ‘an emotive and insightful read.’ – The Saturday Paper ‘a book that doesn’t look away from the brutality of the Sri Lankan conflict – torture, forced displacements and disappearances, cultural destruction and worse – but it also balances horror with humour, and indeed love.’ – Sydney Morning Herald ‘[Chandran] does not shy from the horror of war yet holds hope for mankind.’ – The Weekend Australian ‘a rich heritage tapestry to embrace’ The Australian Women's Weekly ‘a sweeping tale of love, duty and migration’ – The West Weekend
