A very special episode with a very special person!

In today' s episode I spoke with Irvin Yalom, the author of best-selling books such as When Nietzsche Wept and Love's Executioner, the father of existential psychotherapy and a pioneer in the field of group theory.

We spoke about his latest book, A Matter of Death and Life, which he co-authored with his late wife, Marylin Yalom.
