Wow! I was genuinely astonished by this work. Before reading it, I looked at its length and thought that it will just be another book with an intriguing premise that the author did not know where to go with or how to end. I was wrong! The whole work is an exploration of different temperaments and different schools of thought existing in both the world of psychotherapy and the everyday. The ending, while no doubt will irk some, is perfect. This type of exploration necessities ambiguity, to encourage readers to explore further and hinder dogmatic sentiments. Yalom, this just might be one of your best.
